Is it normal for the bottom leaves on my mini pumpkin plant to turn yellow/die? Thank you!

Yep, those are the cotyledons. Leaves present in the embryo within the seed of the plant. Now that it’s growing “true” leaves, the cotyledons will wither and fall off.

Yes, the bottom 2 are not “true leaves” and will drop once the plant is developing normal leaves.
