    the only way this can happen is that the temperatures remain above 50 degrees. They will almost stop growing completely below this. The other alternative is to keep them alive indoors. I always root a cutting of a tomato variety that I like, and keep it inside under My LED horticultural light until it is warm enough to plant. You will need at least 200 watts to keep them alive through winter. The more, the better. They produce fruit under mine, but it is 750 watts.

    Compost them if they are healthy. Tomatoes are grown as annuals and do not do well indoors.

    Tomatoes require lots of direct sun and heat. If you can reproduce summer conditions inside, you may have some luck. Natural light at this time of year is insufficient.

    Can you upload a picture? That would help me to further identify it.

    You can add radishes in next to the tomatoes, but I would be cautious about planting strawberries near tomatoes, as they are prone to the same diseases, and can attract them to each other. It is still possible to plant together, but is not advised, as it is more trouble than it is worth to keep them from getting each other sick.

    If you are using horticultural light, I do not think it would be a problem to do this. However, if you are trying to utilize the sun, then the green would filter out almost all of the important spectrums for plant growth. So this all depends on the method you are using.
