I need any and all advice possible for care of new baby shrimp.
First question are the eggs supposed to be yellow?

Sounds like you are good to go. IMO feeding shrimp special foods isn't really necessary. I feed mine flakes and random fish foods and they breed a lot.
survival rates are much higher with baby shrimp food. 50% water change is too high, that will stress the shrimps. Most shrimp breeders rarely do more than 20% change a week.

Shrimp are natural born scavengers, so specialized baby shrimp food isn't necessary IMO. Their instinct is to find and eat whatever they can. I have bred hundreds of RCS over the years, just feeding them fish flakes and pellets. If I was going to try to provide a special food for them, I would toss in a bunch of slow growing plants to harbor microfauna.
