Carrots should be direct sown when soil temperature is 80\*F then once this size they can be thinned out to give each carrot enough space to grow. I’ll thin them a few times during the growing process to check the size of them too.  
Can’t explain the white sprout but I would let it grow out of curiosity due to the fact that it has a genetic mutation that caused the lack of chlorophyll.  
The cucumbers should be fine but I’d get them into the ground soon
