That amount should be fine. Be careful with the sexy shrimp, make sure they have an anemone to be in or a torch coral as they will probably be very tiny and easily killed. The Peppermint will probably be reclusive.

That should be fine. I just noticed you have a Yellow Tang. That fish will outgrow your aquarium in no time, if you can catch him, sell him back to the LFS.

Well, that's sad. Is there any chance you can catch him? He might do better in a school of tangs at the LFS --- you can just give him to them or trade for something else.
