Does anyone have advice for playing the first movement (any particular section or anything at all) besides the usual, take it slow, etc.? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

Leopold called it "tremendously difficult," and with all of these sixteenths, it really is tricky.

I've never played this concerto, but it's difficult to help you without reference to a particular section of the piano solo that you're having difficulty with. I'm looking at the few first opening piano solo bars now, and I'm not seeing anything particularly taxing.

If it's 16ths, and the abundance of them, that are giving you difficulty, you may need to up your finger strength/muscle memory/smooth execution. Hanon has some good excersises for this.

Other than that, besides taking it slow, you of course need to decide on workable fingerings for sections and stick with them.

Haha, the first few bars :). Keep advancing, you'll instantly see what I mean. Lets just say it's not as bad as 22-3!!!!!
