get a fungicide, My pumpkins here in TX did the same thing, didn't get much bigger than your pictures till i dosed em with a broadband fungicide. It did have an effect on the harvest too. Hope you catch it in time.

Pumpkin plants need to be about 2 months old before they can start setting fruit. It has been my experience that they are ~10 feet long when they get their first pumpkins.

what formulation was your pyrethrum in?? oils and emulsifiable concentrates and sun don't mix well. definitely is chemical damage. as for the flowers it is a maturation issue. pull some off until the vine gets to about four feet. depending on where you our you may not have enough light which is forcing them to flower in the juvenile state.
