That is definitely enough for easy, unless you get very unlucky or don't have much of any good equipments or high leveled ship girls. Considering how long you've been in the wikia and how much resources you have managed to gather though, your fleet too is most likely at a point where it is good enough, so I wouldn't worry. Besides, if you give up here, you will probably regret it later that you didn't even try clearing the map and resources lost can always be gathered again - something like ship farming too might very well fail, which would end up in wasted resources too. I say go for it.

CTF is better in my opinion, at least for easier difficulties. STF with Akitsu Maru (or without her too) is good for armod reducing missions. As for sparkling, first fleet is not necessary to sparkle in CTF, though I would keep escort fleet sparkled for the whole time, aside from a possible FBB who can take hits. I don't know how the pre-boss nodes are in easy, but I recommend running both support expeditions - take one out if you don't feel it is necessary.
