Well it does look like uTorrent has been used is it just your mac on the network?
WPA-PSK is fine for your security, though you might consider changing your password.

well looks like someone has set up a port forward for it so it might well be worth deleting.
Definitely change your password, make sure uTorrent isn't installed on your wife's lappy.

there is an option called 'firewall rules' on the right hand navigation, it'll be under there.

so it does seem that your mac is the only thing online, though it isn't 100% accurate... there is a utorrent client for mac but it's in beta so I'm sure you'd know if you'd got that installed.
