TopicKitten litter and table advice needed

Hello again CE - I come to you once again for collective advice, this time on tiny felines. Just a week ago I got these two three month old kittens from a lady off Nextdoor. Generally they seem healthy and full of life (sometimes a little too full), though I have a couple of thoughts/concerns
A) They generally use the litter box I set up for them, but sometimes will poop in a corner across from the box. From what I've read, this could be due to a number of things - I'm wondering whether to set up a second box in the corner (though I'd like to get used to just using the one I've set up). I also read that sometimes cleanliness of the box or type of litter might make them not use it... I scoop twice a day (morning before work and when I get home) but haven't cleaned the whole litter box yet. Do most people clean the litter box completely weekly?
B) I also read that any habits you want to encourage/discourage should start early.. they are still using their claws a bit when playing with my hands and feet. So far I've been doing the exaggerated "oww" to show it's not pleasant... should I leave the room completely? On the same note, I'm trying to keep them from getting on the coffee table in the picture... beyond moving them off when they climb on, should I use a squeegee bottle (read a gentle spray of water to discourage a behavior right afterwards)?
C) When is the best time to get them used to stomach pets? Or to a leash for going outside? Any other general tips? I've gotten some of the cat nip mice, strings on a stick, and a laser pointer, they all seem to work to entertain them to some extent

Tagging those I remember having a cat, which I'm sure isn't everyone
