Only 11MB? My spool now takes up about 30 MB, with an expiry time of
a week max. It really depends on how many groups you are reading, and
of course how many articles get posted there.
You can of course run "expire -r" to delete all read articles.

I'm afraid there is no easy way to go to the "previous in thread". You can
go to the previous article with "P", but that's not always the article
this one followed up to.

The article specified in the Supersedes header is replaced by the article
containing the Supersedes header.

Yarn is able to process supersedes, as far as I know. So if you download
an article today, and tomorrow an article which supersedes it, the old
article will be gone from your spool.
