Connecting several tracks to the same pad

As other have mentioned, what you got is fine for most basic applications. If you use a polygon pour you can decrease the resistance of the trace and consolidate it all into one large trace. I also see you using traces for ground, the general rule is if you have the room, make all the unused space on at least one of your layers ground with a polygon pour. This makes connecting ground easier, makes your ground more reliable (decreased resistance) and makes your board less susceptible to external noise

555 based PWM Dimmer not working only with LED strips

There is a couple of things I would suggest looking into. First just make sure the LED strip still works, then try a adding a current limiting resistor to the strip, even if it already has one it could help. A unity gain buffer could help as well. I also noticed that there is no active regulator on it, and all the work is put on a zener so I would also say either jank in an active regulator or even easier, supply it with a regulated rail
