Q.What’s Wrong With My Plant?
Is my banana string getting too much water and not enough sunlight?

Along with grasshoppers, it could be lack of sunlight. I don't see any dropped leaves, though. Unless they were cleaned up already, it is likely that something ate them. If you have it in full shade then give it more light, for sure. It doesn't need full sun, though. That will make them drop as well. If there is any information you can add in another post, then I'd be glad to keep trying to figure out, exactly, whats wrong. Unfortunately, it could be any of those. Just make sure you have good drainage, and let it dry out pretty well at the surface between waterings. Not completely dry, but definitely dry at the surface. Give it some morning sun, and mostly shade afternoon. You can trim and start new ones, as well as rejuvenate the mother plant.
