Last year my Persian lime tree was subjected to a frost. A few weeks later half of the tree turned brown and died. The rest of the tree kept growing but does not produce any fruit. Will my tree ever produce fruit again, or should I just buy another one? Before the frost it produced regular and beautiful fruit. Thanks.
When lime trees come under serious stress, then tend to stop producing for a year or two to recover. Give it good care and it should start producing again.
3 years ago I planted my Persian lime in a sunny, well drained spot in my backyard. It had flowers and a few limes already on it. It was full and about 3 feet tall. I have treated it for leaf miners regularly, following directions (I also have pink grapefruit and orange trees out front that I treat as well and fertilize with nitrogen rich fertilizer at the suggested times for our zone 9 in n. Florida). My little lime has not bloomed since. What can I do?
You may want to add some more phosphorus to the soil, such as bone meal, which will help promote blooming. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm
Why are our Persian limes orange and seedy inside? The 5' tree was recently planted and was covered in fruit. Much of it was over ripe (yellow/orange skins), but when we cut into several smaller green ones, they were also orange inside. Should we pull all the fruit off and wait for a new crop (new blossoms) or do we have a weird tree?
Persian Limes can actually be quite yellow when they are ripe.
With that said, I think you may actually have a Mandarin Lime tree.

I've got a potted Persian lime tree that's about 2-3 years old that has not developed any blooms yet. I water and fertilize regularly but I don't overdo it. I did only just buy the tree about 9 months ago. The leaves are dark green and don't show any signs of infestation or disease.
There can be several different reasons for lack of blossoms or combinations of reasons.
Here are some great articles that will help you pinpoint the cause.

I live in Tucson, Az. Over the winter, pack rats nearly destroyed my beautifully bountiful potted Persian lime tree. Once I identified the culprits and removed them, my tree has flourished with beautiful foliage. However, it has not produced any flowers this summer. Can I do anything to force flowering or has the damage permanently destroyed its ability to produce fruit?
Certainly your Lime Tree suffered some stress with the rodent damage.
The link below will help you get if back on track.
Persian lime tree has die off on large branches. How do I nurture my tree to keep it from dying? It had a lot of spider webs which I have removed. Is there a specific type of organic fertilizer or other organic product I can use to revive the tree? It is about 15 years old and is surrounded by sod which I do not fertilize.

Our tree, while inside, climate contoled, in winter, produced large number of flowers which started to turn into fruit. Moved tree outside when temps warmer. Lots of little fruit, lots. Concern: fruit (attachment to tree) is very fragile and winds easily knock them off. We moved tree inside for short period, during rain storm, and the slight giggling from moving it also caused fruit to fall off. Is it normally this fragile or have we neglected to do something or too much of something. I dont over water. Thank you!!
Moving and changing growing conditions is best done in a gradual time period.
When moving from indoor to outdoor find a semi shade sheltered area and start with a few hours at a time.
Your Citrus should be able to acclimate to the outdoor area within a week or two.
Wind or heavy rains can harm the blossoms or fruit; so best to protect the plant from these extremes.
