this is the first season for this strawberry plant, I had a few green berries few weeks back but very few and not much more; should I keep it? Thank you!

Quite often you read advice that says don't let Strawberries flower (and therefore fruit) in their first year, so I wouldn't give up on them. As pointed out already their conditions are sub-optimal, so any fruit you do get mightn't be that nice.
I'd suggest repotting with more soil in your tub, with a maximum of two plants to a tub and occasional feeding. I've used these window planters for Strawberries and I just don't find they do very well in them, so if you can, think about putting each plant in its own 8 or 10-inch pot or put them in the ground.
