Ok, so how much and how many times do I water a lemon tree? I was given a small one to resurrect. I have a bit of a green ? but I don't know that much about a lemon tree. ?
Water your lemon tree as you would most houseplants. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

I bought a small lemon tree last summer and planted it in a pot on my patio. When the temperature went below 50 at night, I brought it inside. After a while it started dropping leaves, a few every day. I thought it was just the change in location. Then I thought it needed more light, so I brought it into the guest room, which is really light and airy. But it's still happening. I saw on a website that it might have leaf miners. I followed the link to your website. But your description of leaf miners isn't what the other website described. It said "Citrus leaf miners are also an intrepid pest assailing lemon tree leaves. Barely noticeable to the naked eye, leaf miners are not easy to control with chemicals since they are burrowed into their dens between leaf and stem. Infected areas of the tree should be removed and destroyed to aid in management of the insects." So now I don't know if I should treat the little tree or cut off the section before it spreads. Help!!
Lack of sunlight, temperature fluctuations, lack of humidity, and watering issues could be the cause of the leaf drop.
It can be difficult to give an indoor citrus tree enough sunlight, especially in the winter months, without adding some artificial light.
Here are some links to refresh you on the care requirements.
If you still suspect insects or disease, Neem Oil can be used as a safe treatment.

I recently brought a dwarf tropical lemon and put it in a pot. It has lost most of its leaves and is looking a bit sick. It's in a sunny position with good soil. It has fruit on it. What else can I do to give it a good start?
Make sure that the soil is evenly moist but not soggy. The pot should have a good drainage hole.
Check the soil before watering instead of watering on a schedule.

My lemon tree dropped all of its leaves recently and it looks like it is dying. I have had the tree for a couple of years and it has produced 8 large lemons, with new white flowers but no further lemons. It sits on my south-facing window sill and the temperature has been cold in recent weeks (we live in Glasgow) and I'm wondering now if the tree has died or is suffering from cold damage or I am over watering it. I recently used winter feed to see if this would help but it seems to have made it worse. What can I do to save my tree? Thank you.
It is normal for your Lemon Tree to drop some leaves in the winter and early spring, loss of all of it's leaves could be due to several issues.
Temperature, improper care, fungus, insects, and excess fertilizer.
Here are some articles to help you determine the cause and to correct the care you are giving your tree.

Got green lemons on tree from last year. Do I cut them off for new this year or what?
It can take some lemons up to 9 months to ripen.
Have you checked the fruit? Sometimes a ripe lemon actually will still appear green in it's natural state.
