    It sounds like it may have a bit of transplant shock. The purple fading is the flower itself dying, which is common for plants in shock. They tend to jettison the flowers first in an effort to conserve energy. The leaves are then affected next.

    Increase water and give it a a little bit of sugar. Mostly it just needs time and may lose its flowers regardless of what you do. This article may also help:

    Do you mean just eating the blooms off the top of the plant? If so deers and rabbits will eat the bud. Buy a deer and Rabbit spray. Home depot has it. Stay the plants after each rain.

    The plant is likely suffering from shock as it adjusts to the new environment and this normally clears up on its own provided you keep it well watered.

    Just prepare the planting hole around the same depth as the pot it is currently in and water it well. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/growing-calla-lilies-and-care-of-calla-lilies.htm

    No, you don't have to deadhead these plants but it will not hurt them to do so.
