    Jade Princess Millet is an annual.
    This is a sterile variety, so no seeds will form.

    You will need to start new plants again this year.

    If you plant your Purple Majesty in the garden, it could grow as high as 3 to 5 feet, and if transplanted soon, there's a chance you could see quite a few more blooms yet (and you can leave the dead blooms and seed spikes on it, it won't hurt anything).

    This article may give you some additional helpful information on helping your Purple Majesty thrive:

    Yes, this is common on these plants with a hot and dry wind. You could try relocating the container to a more sheltered location. There is little to be done with the existing damage, but preventing further stress is the best remedy.

    Certainly it can be used in this location.

    If you are in doubt about its survival outdoors, it won't hurt to bring it in. It will survive best if you place it in a south-facing window. Treat it like a houseplant for a headstart next year.

    I'll take a stab at ID. How about amaranth? Johnny Seeds has a variety called "Hot biscuit" that looks similar to your plants.
