I have a honeysuckle in a 16" pot outside, on a north-facing porch that gets a lot of sun. How much water should I be giving it? I got it from Lowes and was told to water twice a day (morning and night), but I have no idea how much.
Most Honeysuckle varieties can grow in full sun to partial sun.
You should water your plant about 1 inch per week.

I put a number of moth balls around my honeysuckle plant last summer to deter cats from doing their business in my yard and, consequently, my plan is not doing to well. What can I do?
Moth Balls is not a recommended product to use in the garden for the safety of humans and animals.
Here is an article that has more information.

My climbing shrub produced green berries that have since turned red. Are these poisonous for grandchildren and should I cut them all off - will it hurt next year's growth?
Depending on the variety Honeysuckle berries are non-toxic to mildly toxic.
Cutting the berries off shouldn't effect flowering, as the birds usually eat the berries.
From the attached photos, can anyone say what disease this plant has and what we should do to treat it? There are just a couple of flowers on it and it stands just below 5 ft tall. We have inherited this after moving to another house.
The photo is a bit fuzzy, but it could be black spot (Diplocarpon rosae), a disease that is most known for attacking roses but also attacks honeysuckle and several other plants. This article has more information:

I need to move my honeysuckle vine. Is it safe to do so at this time if I live in southeastern Ohio?
You will need to do a little work prior to moving the honeysuckle vine.
Cut the plant back by 1/3 2 months prior to moving the plant. This helps the roots reduce the plant they need to feed.
At the same time cut down about 10 inches into the soil all around the base of the plant in about a 12" radius.
Use a sharp shovel but do not lift the plant. This will encourage the plant to grow out new short roots that will help feed the plant after transplanting.
This time frame should be perfect for a fall move for the plant.
Dig up the root ball from the existing cuts you made. Move the plant immediately to it's new planting site.

My Honeysuckle is in a pot and has done well all summer but now I want to know if I can plant it outside and when should I do that. I live in a condo and have a spot to put it but was wondering if it would winter inside in the same pot or if it needs to be outside?
Yes, you can plant out the Honeysuckle now. Keep the plant watered up until the ground freezes to make sure the roots become established.
You can add 2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch to help with moisture retention.
If you choose to winter it over in a pot, just keep it in a sheltered area. A garage works well for this. Check the soil every so often to make sure that it has not dried out completely.
A bit of water perhaps once a month, just enough to keep the soil from cracking.
Here are some links to help you.
