    It's actually most likely a fungus called rust. This article will help you:

    They may either be lacking light or they are lacking in phosphorous. Check the area to see if over the years, they have not become shadowed by surrounding plants and trees. If you feel they are getting enough light, try adding some bone meal to their soil to help get them blooming again.

    They will have a hard time surviving because it is a bit too warm, but it is worth trying. I would plant it in a semi-shady location, to make sure it gets some sun but also protection from heat.

    I will warn you, peonies are notoriously picky about being moved. When you plant or move a peony, it can take 1-6 years before they bloom.

    No, they will only bloom once in a year. But, deadheading them does help them to focus on storing energy rather than making seeds, which translates to bigger and more blossoms next year.

    Is this true for most flowers, by deadheading them they
    get bigger flowers next year?

    Remove spent blossoms but do not trim peonies. They need the leaves to produce energy to give you flowers next year and support the roots. I assume it freezes there. After hard frost, you can trim them back, if desired, and clear away ALL debris throwing in the trash, not a compost pile.
