Beginner Gardening: Should I look into pest control?, 1 by bellerayne

I am a real novice here, and I really hope someone can help me understand what I'm doing...

I planted a seed card and I have a sprout or two. The plant next to it has a bunch of white flecks in it that look like eggs to me. I also saw some very small bugs in the other plant. While I see similar flecks in the seed-card plant, I'm not sure if these are bug eggs or part of the potting mix I bought (Miracle Gro). It's been raining a lot lately here in South Florida, so maybe it's spawning pests? Should I look into a pesticide or something? I don't want bugs eating my sproutlings.

As a side note, I expected more plants from a seed card, yet I only have two sprouts. Does anybody know why this is? Did I plant them too deep, or water it too heavily?
