If it will survive in one zone lower than your own, it can stay outdoors in a container for the winter. If not, it needs to come indoors for the winter.
As far as the leaf loss, as long as it is regrowing leaves at the same rate or faster than they are growing, then I would not worry about it. You might try pinching the ends of the stems to encourage more branching since it sounds like the plant is already trying to branch more.
