Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I won't be able to make a diagnosis.

It sounds like an infection in your soil. These articles will help:

Answer 2

Depending on the type of camellia, leaves will develop scorched, browned or bronzed areas if directly exposed to too much sun. Once the leaves have turned brown, they will not recover. Camellia sasanqua leaves are more sun tolerant than camellia japonica, reticulata and oleifera leaves. Other causes: poor drainage, lack of water or inconsistent watering or root injury due to transplant.
