Have a tripod? If you're not shooting with one that'd be a huge help in sharpening up the focus. Also turn your pumps off to prevent movement if you didn't in those pics.
Using a tripod will also allow you to increase the "depth of field", which is basically increasing the amount of the photo that's in focus between the foreground and background. Looking at a few of your pics, there is sharp focus in one plane, but bluriness just behind or in front of that area. Shooting at a smaller aperture, or higher "f stop" will keep more of the image in focus. Looks like you were shooting somewhere around f5.6....get the camera on a tripod and shoot at f11 with a slower shutter speed and you should see a difference.

I know what's wrong Alex my buddy my pal, and don't get mad... Get a Canon! You can get a T2i for the same price as the sony or get a T3i like me and Kris(DJKMS) you've seen his macro shots. Jus get a Nice Canon DSLR and a good macro lens with a tripod. If you insist on the Sony I think Aaron just got a new Sony and probably knows the settings well enough to help.
The only things I can think of, and you are likely already doing these things, are to;
turn off the flow and let it settle down,
make sure you are perpendicular to the glass so you don't get distortion,
and once you have a tripod shoot with a few second delay or a remote trigger so your pushing the shutter doesn't shake the camera.
As for white balance, I've got nothing for you.

Are you able to change f-stop settings on that camera? If so start playing with that and the white balance. Also is their a + - setting on that camera? If so that in conjuntion of your white balance and f-stop will add you in sharpness and over all color correction.
And a tri-pod will help you out a ton. Nice score on getting a Nikon, best camera makers out there.
I would say bring it today so I could help you but my knowledge with point and shoots are limited at best.
