    This appears to be a small Bismarck Palm. If it gets even close to freezing in your area, then it will not survive. These are very sensitive to the cold. You best option will be to dig it up and re-pot, any way that you can.

    There is a chance that it will recover. The only thing that you can do is wait for now. Do not trim the fronds until you are certain that there is new growth. Once you see the growth begin, then you can trim a few fronds off per day.

    Unfortunately, there is little that you can do to control the height. If you were to cut off the top, it would likely kill the palm.

    The drainage and darkening around the hole is concerning.
    This could be caused by an animal; bird or my concern is a disease issue or possible palmetto weevils.

    You may want to have your Palm checked by a qualified Palm Arborist.
