Seeking tomato help

See my basil (on the left) and cherry tomatoes (on the right) sprouting out nicely! My question is, where do I go from here with the tomatoes?

I know nothing about how to grow them properly. Can I leave all 8 sprouting plants in the pot together? Do I need to divide them out into separate pots? How much sun and water do they like?

Obviously I'm not a very experienced vegetable gardener. Clearly I planted these little seedlings in a spurt earth-loving domesticity. Anyone care to guide me along in this learning venture now that I'm feeling the weight of responsibility for my baby tomatoes?
