I guess you will need to let us know other stats of your tank before any of the bros here can assist you further.
eg. your filtration system, temp, and etc.

Abit over crowded for the shrimps....try to reduce the number to half...because once they start to reproduce, you will get alot more....

Yeah i suggest you start off small, make sure they're doing fine, then start increasing the population. But don't add too much, because they'll start breeding anyway.

i suggest u remove the air bubble as in will increase the current in the water which shrimp dun really like.. and for a 2 feet tank u might wan to invest in a small canister filter.. i will be more worth it in a long run..

for cherry is better to start less.. cos the amount usually double around 3-4months time..

aquarium salt??? Isnt cherry suppose to be fresh water??? maybe someone else can suggest whether aquarium salt is appropriate for shrimp survival.

food any kind of shrimp food will be alright. Maybe you can try Hikari products or Hayashi. If cost is no concern get Mosura.
