Based on the questions you've been asking, I'm going to recommend you borrow or buy a knitting technique book. I think seeing the techniques and their common names (and some techniques have about 8 names!) presented would help you a lot in knowing how to tackle your problems. A lot of knitters panic in the face of the unknown; it's much easier to keep calm if you know that the problem can be solved by something called the Gargle-Leaped Twirl, even if you don't know how to do a Gargle-Leaped Twirl.
The Knitter's Companion by Vicki Square is a good start. And make sure to check your local library for their knitting selection, because every pattern book as a technique section that will explain the basics. Actually, the Stitch and Bitch series might also be a resource here...
You are decreasing too slowly. Rip and re-knit. Or why not just knit another square and seam them together using one of the above methods? Or heck, go all out and make the bottom piece a mitered square.
