Answer 1

It sounds like you have too much nitrogen, and not enough phosphorus and potassium. I would test your compost and potting soil (your potting soil is likely the culprit) for excess nitrogen.

If you are going to use compost, then I would supplement with a low nitrogen mix. Seed starting mixtures are great for this purpose.
