I would not cut off anything unless it's dead, diseased, or the leaf
has been so beat up that it just looks awful and cutting it off will
cause no harm. New growth comes from the tip of the stem, where the
new leaves grow from. Some plants have lots of stems, but Nepenthes
start off with just one.

Depends, sound like yours had already grown some roots, now they
just have to grow. :)
