So far so good, I think once you get those seedling past their first set of leaves you can move you light about 1 1/2 - 3 inches away, depending on how hot your room is. CFL's don't really put out too much heat, but the ones your using are not average CFL's, they are a little bigger so heat might build up quicker (no experience with those, only regular CFL's) But in general you can keep CFL's very close with little to no heat burn... As far as when to feed them (add nutrients) I would wait till atleast your 2nd week, seedling do not respond well to nutes, but if they are looking a little starved (dis-colored) then i would feed with 1/4 strength nutes...
Really foliage feed (spraying) isn't too great for seedling, you want to make the plant develop a root system... if you are giving it water though it leaves its not being forced to develop a healthy root system. Granted you are not going to hurt it by spraying, but its a good idea to hold off and just water the medium to promote a good root system.
Either way the plants gonna grow, if you give it light, air and water, it will grow. Just how good it grows depends on how you manage those 3 things....
