So, after multiple suggestions of overwatering I decided best to check anyway, despite having tried to be cautious, haven't really had much sun recently to help with that, it seems that just may have been the case.
Unpotted it, and it's sibling, and the soil was far too wet. So I mixed the wet stuff with some dry to get a good middle ground then layered it in the pot with a sprinkling of dry stuff directly around the too wet clump that was still in the roots, replanting them both with a much nicer soil than the waterlogged stuff they were sitting in.
- Also, the two lower branches with the yellow leaves (other one of the pair started turning too) just came right off as soon as I started handling it to check and replant, despite trying to be careful.
Feels weird calling them branches when they're so small and still green, but that's technically what they are.
I know it looks like that, but they're not actually branches ... they're the leaf petioles ... part of the leaf .... they will drop in autumn with the leaf ... your 'tree' isn't developed enough to have branches or twigs yet ... they should start to develop next year and your plant will begin to look more like a tree.

Ah, fair enough, shows what I know, haha. And yea, now that I think on it, when leaves fall the do have a stalk still.
Indeed, like my mum's neighbour... They've almost been gardening longer than I've been alive. Haha. We all start somewhere, I always say. The worst part is when you try to start a new hobby and all you find is snobby gits who act superior cause you don't know as much as they do. Just makes ya want to give up and do something else.
