We have a honeysuckle plant about 5 or more years old, growing along the back of our house. It has bloomed very well indeed this year, masses of blooms still and lots of buds but suddenly the leaves have started turning yellow brown and mottled. It is in well drained soil and gets watered well at the root once a week and it has been dry and cool here lately? I have researched diseases but the leaves don't match either powdery mildew or sooty mould I don't think. Be glad of any advice!
It could be a fungal disease prompted by the cooler weather.

New to gardening. What type of vine did I get, what season should I transplant to ground, how do I find what zone I’m IN?
Your zip code says that you are near Albion, Indiana, USDA Zone 5b. Your average date of first frost is the first week in October and your average date of last frost is the last week in May. Hard to say what these vines are; I hope they are winter hardy; otherwise, you may need to grow them in pots and bring the pots into a protected location during winter... The leaves are too far away and I could not see any blooms. Can you not go back to the place where you purchased it or obtained it from?
Honeysuckle bush/vine blossoms every spring but deleafs after blooming due to powdery mildew, will cutting it back in late fall/late winter fix the mildew issue? It is in a well ventilated spot; shade to part-sun; grows up along a chain link fence.
Powdery mildew won't usually cause this type of damage. Downy mildew will, though. Here is an article that will help:

planning to replace current wood fence, which is original to the house since 1998, with vinyl fencing. purchased the house in 2016. the vines were very puny then. each year that i have been here i have cared diligently for the vines. they are gorgeous now, extremely fragrent, had a little bit of die off in one front section this year, I really don't want to loose them. can they be separated from the current wood fence and folded back on the ground and remounted/directed to grow on the vinyl fence again. would it be too much of a shock to them to try and remount them, can they even grow on vinyl fencing. hate to loose them, but know that i may just have to cut them all back. if main vines back to ground level, can they regenerate/regrow. your assistance would be appreciated.
You can cut it all the way to the ground and it will regrow. You may have to get creative to help it climb a vinyl fence, till it reaches the top. If this is a Japanese honeysuckle you may want to consider another variety, such as the trumpet honeysuckle. Japanese is very invasive. Here is more:

I have several large tree like plants in my backyard that were planted long before I moved in. At my neighbors suggestion I cut it all back very early last year since they said it just eats the fence every year. The leaves match the description but I can't find any pictures of ones so tall so it's giving me second thoughts. If it is Japanese honeysuckle I'd like to try and remove it this year so I want to get started on controlling it early. There are 4 plants between 10 and 12 feet tall and the trunks are between 4 and 8 inches. I know it's not ideal to have pictures without the leaves but I'm hoping what I have attached is helpful. If there is any other information I can provide to be helpful please let me know.
Here is an article about Japanese honeysuckle and one about winter creeper. If the leaves you show are the vine you are concerned about, I think it looks more like winter creeper. They both are invasive, though, and should be removed.

What is this? How to treat. White stickie residue on the vine stems in early morning of Honeysuckle. In zone 9. Thank you!?
Since it is on stems, not leaves, I suspect mealybugs or scale. Aphids, scale and mealybugs give off a sticky, clear fluid called honeydew. Try some applications of Neem Oil and see if that helps.

Each spring my honeysuckle start off looking really healthy but then the leaves start dropping off what can I do
It could be a recurring fungal disease such as a blight that overwinters in dropped leaves. Be sure to clean up any leaf litter during the summer to prevent a carryover of disease. Also, prune it yearly to increase air circulation. Prune out the dead and diseased stems to help stop the spread. You can also try spraying with a copper-based fungicide.
