You should establish it for at least a week at room temp, or longer if it can't double in size at that point.

Yes, feed it more. I've absolutely found that fresh-ground flour gets the acetone smell more quickly, especially as the yeast colonies develop. My established white flour starter can sit on the counter for two days without being fed (

) before it gets that smell, whole wheat for about a day, and any freshly-ground flour I need to feed two or three times if I'm leaving it out.
