This tree has developed a curling appeal on the leaves. What's happening?
The most common reason for leaf curl in a citrus tree are pests and insects.
The cause could also be environmental or nutrition deficiencies.
Inspect the tree for signs of pests.
Neem Oil is a good treatment to use for most infestations.

I have a tree that is 2 stories tall and is about 26 years old. It looks sad--dead fruit, dead branches at the top, curling leaves. Is it dying of old age or can I save it? What can I do for it? Thanks
A healthy Calamondin tree can live 40 or more years.
This lifespan can certainly be cut back by disease, pests or environmental issues.
This sounds to be quite a large sized specimen and pruning dead plant material may be best preformed by a professional.
A good inspection of the tree by an Arborist, can help determine if the tree is suffering from an infestation, fungus or nutritional problems.
Here are a few articles with more information.

On the label of the plant, there is a knife and fork with a line through it. Is the fruit not edible?
Calamondin is an edible citrus fruit.
This is common to seed this type of label put on citrus trees from the grower.
Numerous chemicals are applied to the plants in greenhouse production.
If the tree has fruit now, it is best to remove those and Not consume those.
The new fruit that grows while in your care, would be safe to eat.

Why is my calamondin tree not bearing fruit or flowers? I grew it from seed and it's more than 10 years now. Is there any gender in this plant?
Calamondin grown from seed should produce fruit after it's 2 years old. The fruit may not be true to seed.
I would look at amount of sunlight, watering and nutrients and make adjustments.
The links below will help refresh you on the care requirements.

Why do some of my Calamondin trees have thorns and some don't?
This could be a difference between individual trees based on genetics, or it could be because of small differences in environment that the trees have experienced while growing. Citrus are quite variable in whether they produce thorns or not. Here is more about citrus thorns:

My Calamondin Orange tree was on my sun porch, full of tiny green oranges. It was producing well for past 2 years. I am in zone 6 and had to bring it in. The fruit is shriveling up, the leaves are crunchy and falling off. We have had a couple days of sunlight. Would a grow light bring this back to where it was? Thank you.
Yes, a grow light or two are usually necessary for citrus trees to produce fruit and stay healthy indoors. Indoor light is almost always dimmer than outdoor light, so most plants will need an adjustment period when brought indoors, especially sun-loving plants like citrus. The more light you can give it (within reason), the better it will look. Also, decrease watering, because the tree will use less water while indoors.

I planted a dwarf calamondin tree in my backyard, and after about two years it sprouted a branch with very oversized leaves. Now this branch has fruit the size of lemons. It is planted between a lemon and a lime on either side. Did they somehow cross? an anyone tell me what's going with my tree?
You most likely have a branch growing from the root stock.
The Calamondin is grafted onto the hardy root stock of a citrus, which may be a sour orange variety.
Suckers that grow from the root stock should be pruned away as soon as they appear.
