I have my first beer in my secondary it has been in there about a week, there is a thin layer of yeast sediment on the bottom. How much sediment do you guys get, or maybe I tranfered some of it when I was transfering it from the primary. I plan on leaving it in the secondary for another week, I am sure there is no harm with it being on this thin yeast cake right?

No problem at all. If you siphon your beer out to bottle it, you will leave almost all the sediment in the secondary.
This is entirely normal. The purpose of a clearing or bright tank is to settle all of the junk out. If you are using a carboy, you can actually watch the "murky" layer get smaller every day.

You're brew's fine.
When you watch the yeast fall out you'll notice your brew on top is getting darker. It's really just getting clearer.
