We have had our pomegranate trees (2) in a sunny spot for about 2 years, they both have beautiful flowers, which are dropping off before they set fruit. Is this normal for young trees or is our soil lacking in something? Would appreciate your advice, regards Ramona.
This can be normal for younger trees, and also a concern if you are outside of their growing zone. This article will help you identify why these are not setting fruit properly: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/pomegranate/pomegranate-flower-drop.htm
Can you plant pomegranate in pots north coast NSW? Will they yield fruit?
This is tricky. You can but they will require yearly care, such as fertilization and repotting, or even cutting lower roots to keep in a certain size container.
As long as you are willing to give them the care that they require then it is completely possible to grow and yield fruit in container.

Is it proper to dry the fresh pomegranate seeds in the sunlight before germinating the seeds? Or is it all right to plant the seeds while fresh and allow them to germinate?
Either dry or fresh is fine. It is recommended to remove the red fruit from around each white seed first. Then, you can either dry them for a few days (But in a cool place, not in the sunlight is best) or plant them fresh. Here is more information:

I have one pomegranate and two capsicum plants in pots. Pomegranate has two small fruits on it since last two months and not growing further. Similarly capsicum has few fruits but growth is very slow. Like to speak to you if you can help.
That soil appears to be ground soil. This is not suitable for container, as it is too thick, and will not function properly in container. I would suggest, either making your own potting mix, or getting a good potting mix. This would be the cause of these symptoms.

Where do I get cuttings from to start new trees?
We do not sell trees, or know where to get them directly. You can check local nurseries, or if you know someone with a tree, you can get cuttings from this.

I live in Bermuda and decided to prune my pomegranate tree which now stands about 12 feet tall. I thought I was pruning old branches but then realized they had tiny little buds on them...yikes. Did I mess up my tree by doing this? someone help... :-)
You did the right thing for fruiting production. It does make the tree look a little strange, but you did nothing to harm it. Here is an article for more iformation: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/pomegranate/pomegranate-tree-pruning.htm
