I left my canna in the ground over the winter. I want to know if they will grow again and, if so, what month do they usually grow?
No, canna lilies are tropicals, and the cold of a Philadelphia winter would kill them. They're easy to overwinter, though. Read more in these two articles: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/canna-lily-care.htm

I have a few cannas (southern exposure of house) that don't seem to be doing as well as they should. They don't get a lot of sun because of a very large maple tree and I am considering moving them to the backyard fence where they will get more sun, but still be protected from the north wind.
In your zone, you should be right on the border between where cannas can be left in the ground all year, and where they need to be lifted for the winter. I'm guessing that you leave yours in the ground. I think most people would find that spring is the best time to divide, and transplant, cannas, and I'd stick with that if I were you, since you are sort of in an iffy zone. Unless you want to dig some up now and move them just in the spirit of experimentation. But I would advise leaving most of them till spring.

I received some canna tubers from a friend. They did quite well during the summer. I am trying to remember if there were roots on the tubers when I received them. I have dug the tubers and have 6 times as many as I started with and the roots are numerous. I have been reading lots and lots of articles but not one has said anything about taking the roots off or leaving them alone. Normally, I would leave alone but, there are quite a few of them. Can you tell me what I should do? Thank you.
You can trim the roots if they are quite long, but it is best to leave them intact if possible. Here is an article on storing cannas that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm

When digging up canna bulbs, are the stalks suppose to dry out completely? The foliage is dead but the stalk is very succulent.
No, as long as the leaves are dead, you can dig them up. The stems will dry out eventually.
Cut the stalk back to 2 - 3", and proceed to dry and store as in these instruction: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm
We had 31' overnight in Phoenix and the canna leaves turned dark and wilted. Do I leave the plants or do I need to dig up the rhizomes and start over?
The leaves on the canna are far more susceptible to frost than the roots. Plus, the roots have the insulating protection of the soil. In your area, the roots should be fine being left in the ground for the winter and they will regrow in the spring.
Once a canna lily has begun its growth and emerged from the soil, can it be transplanted? A canna rhizome was inadvertently put in a pot with a houseplant, which spent the summer outdoors. It is in north-facing window and somehow has begun to grow. I would like to keep it but am afraid it will kill the houseplant if left in the same pot.
I would go ahead and split the two apart and pot up the Canna in it's own pot. Then just let it grow until you are able to plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. I know many gardeners who start their Cannas indoors since they live in a zone with a short growing season.
