Squash - is there a problem?

I'm growing a butternut squash in a 20 liter container (see picture). It's got quite a number of squash growing on them (7 so far).

I'd like your views on:
1) should I remove some of the squash to make so that I get fewer but larger squash
2) in the picture you'll see there is one squash is going yellow and looks bruised. Would you remove it?
3) Some of the leaves are yellowing. Is this something to worry about? Note I've been giving it a light feed about every 2 weeks.
4) Any tips on when to harvest would be appreciated!
