Hi all, is there a module which allows visitors to subscribe to the RSS feed via email?

No, I don't know how that would work. RSS and email are not the same. RSS module has links the user can add to there feed reader. There is also a motifications module where the user would subscribe to albums they would like to be notified about.

Basically I want to try and get people who visit to stay linked to the site, if I can get them to sign up to a newsletter it would help keep them coming back

Likely best to add a newsletter sign-up page with the page module. http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:Pages

If you wanted the signup to be album-specific, that would require a bit more work on your part to implement outside of the options @floridave already mentioned.

I got the form working, its not ideal as the codeblock type area is really small, could someone try it and let me know how they get on.

Looks to me like you need to use the http://www.ymlp.com form edit section to format the form with the text area to be on a line by itself and not a table with 2 cells.
Here is how I made the form on one row on the table that the ymlp site uses:

I am having trouble changing the width of the input box, have tried to add a line to the CSS file but to no avail, can you see what I need to change or add?

See if editing themes/wind/css/screen.css
adjust the width:

input.textbox,
input[type="text"],
input[type="password"],
textarea {
  border: 1px solid #000000;
  border-top-color: #bcbcbc;
  border-left-color: #bcbcbc;
  clear: both;
  color: #bcbcbc;
  width: 50%;
}

Not sure why adding the same bit of code lower and editing it did not solve the issue. So you now have a custom theme and you might have to verify other forms on the rest of the pages.
