Rusty, Don"t worry about leaning corn. It will gooseneck and turn more vertical in a couple weeks. As for multiple stalks, do you mean "suckering" at the base of the plant? As soon as you see suckering, even when plants get to 1-2 ft tall, just pull or cut them off. This will not hurt the plant....suckers just use up nutrition that the main stalk needs. And suckers do not produce a usable ear.
With commercial hybrids (field corn) suckering often means that hybrid was not planted thick enough for your growing conditions. Do not plant your sweet corn thicker next year to avoid that because then you just end up with little ears. Sweet corns are not hybrids, just varieties, and that is why they look so frail and spindly compared to hybrid field corn.
