Any advice for what’s affecting my Fig trees leaves? It’s only a few on the right side — also should I repot her into something bigger?

It could be a rust. Always remove the leaves right away, do they don't reinfect. And treat with a fungicide. It kinda looks like it's one tree with several suckers? Or is it buried past several nodes?

O! Where does the rust come from?  
The sprouts have grown in the last 6-8months but originally it was one stem

Should I do anything about the extra sprouts? Like uncover the base stem more?

Rust is just word for fungus. It's just kind of naturally occurring. Especially if it's humid. It's really common where I am, on several plant species.

Oh, that's so strange. I've never seen a tree that small produce suckers before. If they are suckers You could remove them to make additional trees.
