    You can cut it back by a third but no more (in one given year), as this would damage the plant. If necessary, you can prune another third from the plant next year, until it's at a more manageable size.

    It sounds as though it may be a fungus. There are several it could be but, fortunately, they are all treated the same. Treat the plant with a fungicide. I personally like neem oil as it treats both fungus and any pests that may be hanging around on the plant. Here is more information on neem oil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm

    These are camellia seed pods, and you can grow new camellias from them! This article has more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/camellia/growing-camellias-how-to-propagate-camellias.htm

    It's actually okay to move plants that are flowering if you want to. Some gardeners find this the best time to transplant, because they know exactly how the flowers will look.
    Also, there are all kinds of camellias, and when they flower depends on the variety and climate they're growing in.
    This article has a lot of good information on transplanting camellias: http://www.aces.edu/counties/StClair/documents/NRCamelliaMoveGlover09.pdf
