Welcome, glad you are here! I keep 7 in a 32g and is fine. You do have to take in fish size though.

Welcome! Yes, you can add a cleaner shrimp. I also do not see a problem adding a cardinal or gramma.

Welcome to R2R! Saying how many fish you can add is not really possible as it depends not only on the size of the fish but also their habits and disposition. That said, you can probably add two or three more smallish fish safely. Also cleaner shrimp are usually left alone by everyone you've mentioned so it should be no problem.
