As you can see Amazon sword is growing a little too well. How much trimming should I do. Could I cut it right back. Leaving only new and small healthy leaves.

Nice plants! You can pretty much do what you want; trim the large leaves leaving the small. I sort of spot mine through like that to help thin it out sometimes too. Just cut as close to gravel as you can, without cutting rhizome. Once cut, the rest of stem will turn brown, decay and slowly fall off. No big deal just saying.
