I want to grow a mango tree in my garden but I am afraid its root will damage the foundation of my house.
Most trees should be planted at least 5 feet or more from any structures. For more information on growing mangos, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/mango/growing-mango-trees.htm
I always suggest that all plants be located 1/2 mature diameter from any structure, walk or drive. Example, it your mango will get 20' wide, it should be planted a minimum of 10' from your wall. There are many varieties and sizes, the distance will depend on your selection.

In which month can I fertilize in for a mango tree to increase fruits? And what medicine has to be used?
I would recommend fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer when you see the tree in bloom. The extra fertilizer will help support the immature fruit and reduce fruit drop, which will increase production.
After you have harvested, fertilize with a phosphorous rich fertilizer to help the tree produce more blooms in the next bloom season.

I live in Smithville, Texas. Zone 8. I would like to grow my own mangos, without much experience. My question is, how likely am I to have good results? I do not have a greenhouse or room for one.

How to prune mango and apple trees?
This article will help you with your apple tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/apples/pruning-apple-trees.htm As for the mango, these trees rarely require much pruning until after they have reached at least 4 years old, and then remove weak branches, pruning more for shape. That said, you can try pruning it back some, but no more than a third of its growth. Here is more info on mango trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/mango/growing-mango-trees.htm
My mango tree blooms but then only a few become pea size mangos and even fewer become golf ball size mangos. Then NONE of them become full size mangos. They just turn dark and fall off. The tree is about 8 years old 25 feet tall. It looks healthy and gets plenty of sunshine. My wife is ready to cut it down....I'm trying to hold on.
You can try pruning it back some, but no more than a third of its growth. Also, give it some phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to encourage flowering and fruiting. How are the pollinators in your area? A decline in pollinating insects can make it difficult for these fruit trees to produce. Humidity and rain can also limit polination. You can encourage pollinators to the area if necessary.

I have an Alphanso mango tree. 7 years old. This year it did not bear any fruit and also the leaves of the tree are turning brown and dry. Please suggest the problem and solution for this.
The lack of fruiting may be attributed to a number of things, but the dry, brown leaves could be due to too little water, insect pests or even a fungus. You can try pruning it back some, but no more than a third of its growth. Also, make sure it receives plenty of moisture and give it some phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to encourage flowering and fruiting. Check for signs of pests and see if the browning of the leaves seems to spread. If either of these occurs, try treating the tree with neem oil, which will take care of both insects and fungal issues (and it's perfectly safe to use).
