If you pinch off all the flowers you won’t get any tomatoes, so you just need to pinch off a few, right under the buds, as soon as they are set. Unless your plant is setting a lot of buds you really wouldn’t have to pinch them at all, since this is normally done so are not to drain your tomato while it is still growing.
The outside leaves are most likely the oldest, yellowed, or damaged ones.
