    If you are in an area that never experiences a freeze then it will remain a perennial. If it does freeze in your area, then I would recommend pulling them out and replanting.

    This should not hurt anything. Usually plants in this family need the temperature to vary be quite a bit for day and night for it to remain in a vegetative state. If they don't get enough of a difference then they can think it is time to flower.

    If you are concerned, then you can pinch off the blooms with no negative effects.

    Unfortunately, your instincts are correct. You will have to remove these as they come up, and before they start to seed. This will be the best way to do this without harming your soil, or the plants that you intend to grow.

    Without another plant to pollinate it, there will be no fruit. It will just continue to grow as it is. This article will give you more information on the care of these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomatillo/growing-tomatillo-plants.htm

    Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the climate in your country. I can say that depending on the variety some can handle cooler weather. If there are freezes in the forecast, I would not say that they will be very productive, or even living after.

    It is always best to start fresh each season to get the best crop.

    Most people use them much like green tomatoes. I would advise searching for recipes, online.

    Otherwise, we can offer information on the growth of the plant:
