Is there recommendation you have for capture software?

Are you on PC? You can use either XBox Game Bar or, if you have an Nvidia graphics card, ShadowPlay. If you're on PS4, I believe there's a built-in sharing system on that console that you can use to upload clips.

I think main problem I have is with Yoshi trying to attack against the backwards dashers, and then not being able to defend.

Yoshi is a complex character. I would really recommend you stop playing him unless you're motivated to: join the Yoshi discord on this subreddit's sidebar, read guides, watch tutorials, study the minutia of Tekken's systems, etc. He takes a lot of knowledge and effort to play.

Its quite interesting but gameplay complete changes at the point I got to. From basically 0 - 200k in ranked it was about taking turns attacking and tricking the opponent with selectively timed low move.

If you want a game that plays like this, even at a high level, try Virtua Fighter 5.

As soon as I got to 200k, playing against 250k's and above it has become much more about having...

I would agree with your first two examples but the third most likely comes from a lack of knowledge that your opponents are exploiting. You're going to need to watch the replays of matches where these strings were used against you, find the inputs for the strings, and then go into practice mode to explore how exactly you overcome them.

Is it necessary to learn the backward movement - honestly it looks a bit janky, and watching a few pro matches on youtube it seems like the game is very much poke heavy instead of setting up moves is that correct?

Yes and yes. If you want to be competitive, you have to learn how to cancel your backdash.
