    It may need a little more fertilizer. I would give it a full dose of water soluble fertilizer. Also, to be on the safe side, treat it with a fungicide.

    This article will help with pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/cutting-back-passion-vines.htm As for the blooming, the soil may have more nitrogen than phosphorus, which is responsible for the blooming. Add some phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to help with flowering.

    Common causes of blossom drop in any fruiting plant are failure in pollination, or too many flowers to support, or not enough sun or water. One thing that comes to mind when you say little tooth marks is mice. Also, there is a possibility of bugs (thrips?) or some disease. You can look carefully on the existing flowers, and the branches and leaves for any kind of bug; you can also take some samples to the nearest Extension Service for analysis; this link will help you find one: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search/
    FYI, here's rather a lengthy article on passion fruit that might be of interest to you; https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/passionfruit.html

    Passion flower is very tough, and you're unlikely to harm it by pruning too much, but if you want to encourage some growth from the base, I think fall would be a good time to prune. Cut back the branches that are bare to within 6-8" of where they emerge from the ground or main stem/ trunk. This article has some more information you might find useful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/passion-flower-care.htm

    You can cut it back to a manageable size and keep it as a houseplant, or you can allow it to go dormant. Just follow these suggestions and you should have no problem: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/passion-flower-winter-care.htm
