Spotting: Irregular bleeding is one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ; hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle.

Infection? STD?: Almost certainly not normal. Any new, abnormal, or unexplained vaginal discharge should be professionally evaluated. Colored discharge, especially yellowish, tan, or with possible blood ("pinkish"?) often means infection, especially STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomonas. See a doctor ASAP, and immediately if pain is in your pelvis or lower abdomen, especially if severe or if any fever.
