My first chinese elm har chosen to lay its stem at soil-level. Should I pin this up yet to support upright growth? Or perhaps just repot?

Looks like spinach to me.
Did you buy it through a reputable seller? Or from ebay/alibaba?

It could be some kind of a weed growing in the soil or maybe the soil contained something else that grew bigger over time.

I think you're right. Here's a picture of the seeds, and that looks okay.
I'll try again with a new batch.
Many thanks for clearing that out!!!
