not sure if the extra post and photos give you any better info, Im mainly confused i think on just knowing and being able to see how the plant will develop and what will evenetually be chopped.
I circled the stuff I consider suckers, I remove that shit before it has a chance to become a spindly larf machine. Those little growing nodes that develop at the base of a leaf petiole along the branches would be plucked off of my plants, up to the top of each branch leaving only the growing tip and maybe the next node beneath it. I'll leave the leaves on though until the plant gets big, then I remove the lower leaves for better airflow.
When it comes time to top a branch if that's the plan, I'd top it when it has a total of 3 nodes on it, the tip and 2 below it. Id remove the tip, and keep the two underneath and let them now become 2 branches.
I keep up this process until I have a plant with many thick, strong branches that fills the space, then I flip.
