    Normally, grape vines should be fertilized in the spring. Doing it in summer and fall has a tendency to produce a lot of new, tender growth, which will not be hardy enough to withstand colder temperatures. Liquid fertilizer is often recommended for grape vines to improve their ability to absorb the nutrients for healthier plants.

    It's generally better to wait until the vine is dormant before pruning--in late winter. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/grapes/prune-grape-vine.htm

    First, you'll have to remove the ine from around the tree. Pruning it would likely be an easier way of doing this. Then, you'll have to train the main vines to grow along the arbor. Tying it in place may help.

    This is typically caused by a lack of water. I would try supplementing water to the plant next year. Your vine may also have over produced, which caused all the fruit to suffer. If the vines look over-full next year, thin out the bunches a bit so the plant can better support the remaining fruit.

    For this year, simply do a cleanup pruning and not worry about whether you get fruit or not this year. Prune back the vine to a manageable size and fruit will come in the following years. You should be able to start pruning now. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/grapes/prune-grape-vine.htm
