    You can prune a few inches off of the 2 tall tops which will suppress the vertical growth and allow the lower branching to begin to fill in.
    The white spots I believe are excess salts as explained in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/jade-plant/white-spots-on-jade-leaves.htm

    I cannot find ANY information on this subject, but after looking at close ups of the flowers, I notice that I see both pistillate and staminate organs on the flower. This would indicate that they are monoecious, and have both sexes in the same flower. So the answer to your question would be that they are hermaphroditic, being both male and female at the same time.

    Most people don't know about the important step of letting the cut edge dry before putting it in soil. I wish you success!

    This is what you will expect when you bring it inside. This happens due to the lack of light and also lack of humidity. If you can increase these, then you will likely see less of a problem in the winter. Unfortunately, this is just a natural response to the change in conditions.

    Try giving it a good quaility grow light for 8 to 10 hours a day keep the light at least 12 inches away to prevent leaf burn. jade do not require a lot a water for overwintering unless you have really low humidity just a little water after the soil is completely dry. however use a good liquid fertilizer like fox farm grow big before winter gets here. Use only about half the recommended dosage. Hope this helps!

    Oh boy... Those are scale insects. These will have to be manually removed and then sprayed for after to kill any remaining eggs. I don't normally recommend products here, but in this case I will. These can be a nightmare to get rid of and they will kill your plant.

    FoxFarm makes a product called "Force of Nature Miticide" and it is a very broad spectrum organic pesticide. (and it smells like garlic!) It comes in a concentrate, or a ready to use spray. It will do the trick.

    Yes this does sound like it is getting too much sun. I believe that if you move it to a little more shade, or maybe hang a shade cloth in the area, then you will correct the issue.
