It doesn't really sound as though much is wrong if she move normally when the light is on. Guppies are diurnal, meaning they're active during the daytime. She may just associate the light being off with her time to rest, and when it's on with her time to be active. And she may be taking a cue from you if you don't feed her until after you turn the light on - the light is her indicator that it's time to eat.

Place a lot of surface plants like Java moss and Java fern in your tank. These make excellent hiding places for the fry, although some will undoubtedly still get eaten.
And no, you can't tell how many she's going to have, although an expert might be able to give a pretty good estimate.
