Read through the sections on this site- http://www.redearslider.com or you can go to the forum where you can ask questions about your turtle- http://www.redearslider.com .
You dont really need to feed the fish. They can eat off of the things like turtle waste, or the turtle food that you put in the tank.

Keeping Red-ear Sliders (RES) in a fish tank is a great idea- for the turtle. Turtles snap at, annoy, bite, and eventually eat fish so he will be happy as long as his other needs are met.
As far as eating fish food- no big deal. Some of the other stuff you said you feed it is a real problem, however. Tuna? Veggies? Where would a small pond turtle get stuff like that?

Most likely, yes. But, just in case, you should maybe start feeding it the food that's made for turtles, or ask a pet shop about it.
