    The female likely dropped the berries due to a lack of pollination. No pollination means no seeds and the plant will abort the berries. It may also have dropped the berries due to transplant shock - if it had been pollinated before you bought it. The male is too late for this year, but come next year, the female will produce new flowers/berries and has a male to pollinate it so you will get red berries in the future.

    This sounds like sooty mold.
    Neem Oil is a good treatment.
    Here is a link with more information.

    Generally a bright but indirect light indoors is appropriate for your China Girl plant. Soil should be kept evenly moist.
    A shady location outdoors would be more appropriate.
    Your plant suffered from the change in outdoor lighting and the roots drying out.

    Keep the plant in a sheltered location and water daily or even twice a day in warm temperatures.

    You will need to trim away any plant material that has died off, and wait and see how the plant recovers.

    They SHOULD be compatible, but this is no guarantee. The only way to be absolutely sure of pollination is to have the same variety, but these are close enough in relation that it should be completely possible to cross pollinate.
