Curling leaves can be a sign of watering trouble—either too much or too little can cause tomatoes to curl their leaves under. As soon as this is corrected, they usually have no trouble bouncing back to life.
It would be better to remove the first flowers now before you plant them outside in the ground, as they’ll need to focus their energy on putting out new roots and foliage until they’re established outdoors. (Planting them in larger pots will only encourage them to grow larger.) Don’t prune them and they shouldn’t have trouble producing more flowers and fruit.
As for the spindly seedlings, don’t be afraid to plant them several inches deeper than they are planted in their pots. They’ll put out roots from almost anywhere on their stems.
