    I can not tell what it is from this description.

    If it came from a nursery it certainly could have been seeded with another plant.

    Yes, you will need to provide water until the plants go dormant.
    Here are a couple of articles.

    Bone meal added to the soil should help with the blooms. As for keeping the vine in check, it may be necessary to prune. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm

    Hold off pruning until early spring for most types or following bloom in others. While it should not hurt the vine, depending on the type you have, blooming may be delayed or skipped entirely the following season if cut back too early. It may just be in need of some fertilizing too, which should help give the plant a jump start with growing.

    As long as it looks healthy and it's planted in an adequate location with well-draining soil, I would not dig it back up. The roots need time to become established and this will only cause the plant more stress. You may instead try giving the plant some fertilizer to boost its growth. Use a fertilizer high in phosphorous on your clematis. Something that is about a 10-20-10 NPK ratio or even rose food can be used to fertilize clematis. Anything having too much nitrogen will only result in an abundance of foliage growth with few blooms.

    A lack of phosphorus, which is responsible for blooming in plants, could be the issue. If your plant is lacking phosphorus, use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.
