    This is a sign that it is healthy! I wouldn't take too much action at this point. Doing so may harm it more than help.

    If it can't support the flowers, it will drop them as needed. Trees and plants have many built in mechanisms that make them very adaptive, and any flowering should be taken as a very good sign. This is especially true with Citrus.

    This doesn't look too bad. The new larger, elongated, and light growth is due to a change in the light that it was receiving. Going from full sun to under shade will cause these symptoms.

    If you can, try and increase the amount of light that it receives. If this is not possible, The tree may just grow a little stretched and may not fruit or flower near as well. They can, often, live with some shade just fine, minus heavy fruit set.
