I do not think you can read the queue length. Tasks will not be removed unless they receive a 200 http status code. Visting /_ah/queue/default as admin would insert another set of tasks which would be bad. I suspect that there were 9 non-200 HTTP responses (errors) that caused the duplicate tasks. Fixing this problem would require synchronization using memcache and getting/setting a known key. If a task detects that the value is not what it expected, then it does not write the key or insert the next task, because another task is running and already inserted its next task... To stop the tasks quickly, you can comment out the line that inserts the next task, and re-depoly so the current tasks will finish and not insert new ones.
