these passions are odd, the first pic shows the main passion above and
the puny passions growing from between the logs below.
the main passion seems to be making the green more solid looking ones,
the puny passion seems to be making smaller ones that are turning bright
orange, the whole affair is climbing a plum tree (you can see plums)

Odd, maybe, but fairly normal for P. caerulea and almost certainly
some others. It naturally suckers from its roots, not all suckers
are as vigorous as the main plant, and many species of fruit often
ripen faster on less vigorous shoots/plants.

I think that's quite normal for the plant, smaller offshoots come up from
the roots. At least they did in a neighbours garden.
May I also suggest you give us a clue as to where your garden is in the
world (see my sig) as it matters quite a lot regarding gardening that people
know you are in Oz (and which part). :-)

Quite normal.

I had a similar vine growth several years ago.
Got excited with the growth until I did some research, the results of
which made me realise that I was not going to get lots of golden
passionfruit. Basically they are thin skinned and 'dry' inside, coming
from a spindly vine.

Suspect you have a "grafted" vine; given your location and the picture,
probably a Nellie Kelly.

That is, the Nellie Kelly vine has been grafted onto a vigorous (wild)
rootstock; similar to grape vines - the grafting, not the rootstock :P

You need to watch the rootstock since, as mentioned, it is quite a
vigorous grower. This means you get vine growth off the rootstock. This
should be regularly pruned / cut back to allow all growth through the
grafted (Nellie Kelly?) vine.
