You are doing great for a newbie. I would agree that you have too many plants in one pot. I don't grow in containers and they have their own challenges, like nutrients washing out, but I think that most people plant one tomato plant to a 5 gallon pot.
I don't know if people planting in pots worry about pruning off the lower branches. Those of us that grow our plants in the ground prune the lower branches because some blight spores and other disease causing organisms live in the soil. You are using potting soil so I don't know why that would be an issue but like I said, I am not experienced with container growing.
