I am sorry I don't have a good answer to what those spots may be, I think we are all in the same class
How composted was the compost you mixed in? I don't really think organic material, even if raw, would cause individual spotting on the leaves like that. Too much uncomposted organic material mixed into the planting hole could certainly damage the plant, don't get me wrong, but I think it would likely be a more severe looking problem....from what I can see from the pics, the plant looks pretty healthy otherwise......please correct me if I am wrong on this point.
And the little worm you found I doubt is an indicator of a pest problem, although I don't know what kinds of issues you have to deal with in Savannah. I think its pretty normal to get the odd muncher checking out the offerings.
Until someone with more experience chimes in, if it were me I would stop fertilizing it for awhile, and just watch it to see what happens. If things start looking worse, re-post.
