Default dry leaf patches dwarf beans

Hi there, quite new to this game and was doing alright until recently.

Ive grown chili plants from seeds, passion flowers and dwarf french beans(they were bought as seedlings).

All are suffering and Im not sure if its over watering or not. I realise the chillis dotnt need much and some were over watered for a while till I realised what they needed,and the stems went a little loose with rot, one is now compleatly bent over with mottled patchy dead spots over leaves. these small spots are brown on the smaller leaves.

the same is happening to my beans, new leaves first drying up around the edges then larger transparrent dried out patches on bigger leaves.

all are indoors in sunny window positions. soil has white patches in it. Passion flower plant has a tiny silver trail across one of the leaves, could a tiny slug be living in the compost bought? any way thats something else from the main issue I think.

all the beans have been re potted once using bought compost, the two in the kitchen repotted again. all showing the same problems. I have been careful I thought not to under water or over water the beans but I may be failing. Or could it be too much direct sunshine?

Ive since found some tiny bugs, some brown, smaller ones yellowy,white older ones darker, almost like a mm slither of hair and they jump!

what are these beastly feinds? they are all over my basil plant now as well as the beans. I didnt look as Im expect plants that havent been outside to be pest free

I think it may be a leaf hopper, so I'll swap to Pests and Diseases for tips.
