    My first instinct is that it looks like the leaves froze from the sickly green leaf color. Money plant is somewhat temperamental. It likes bright but indirect sunlight. It needs consistent temps and moisture levels but not too wet, especially in a container. And it doesn't like to be moved around. Once you find the spot that meets its needs, don't move it; certainly don't be tempted to take it outside on nice days. Money plant can get infested with scale insects, mealybugs, aphids and spider mites so check your plant thoroughly. Lastly, you should check the roots for signs of trouble whether pest related or rotten roots. Your containers appear small which is typical of store brought plants. While repotting in a slightly larger container, examine the roots. If these leaves fall off, new ones will emerge unless the roots are rotting.

    I recommend a good blend of potting soil with dolomitic lime and a small amount of iron sulfate, along with some compost. Mix this well, and plant into this.

    We can't identify this little volunteer plant. It could be from contaminated soil or even the wind may have dropped it into your planter.
    Pull it or leave it is up to you, though I would most likely remove the little thing!

    You can grow in a normal temp room or a bit warmer as it is a tropical plant.

    I see signs of fungal infection, and signs of overwatering.

    Yellowing leaves, depending on where they occur, are mostly a sign of nutritional deficiency, or lack of light. Since the plant in question is tolerant of low light, it will come down to nutritional deficiency.

    They will tolerate just about any well balanced plant food.

    Now, pair that with overwatering, and you have a recipe for infection. A simple broad spectrum fungicide will suffice to kill off the infection.

    Make sure to wait until the soil is almost bone dry down to about 2 or 3 inches before watering again. If this has no drainage to let out extra water from the container, then you may want to wait a little longer between watering.

    This sounds like a fungal infection. This can happen from time to time. You may think about repotting into fresh soil and then treating it the next time that you water. Just replace 1/4 of the water in the container with peroxide, and water once with that. This will usually clear up an infection in houseplants.

    It looks to be a place that was injured. Now it is growing roots, and essentially air-layered its self.

    You can cut right below that root mass and plant it to become its own plant!
