    The problem may be the fertilizer. It is going to emphasize green growth initially, especially if you used liquid fertilizer. It is best to use a long-acting, balanced fertilizer for containers in spring and give the plant a dose of liquid or a smaller dose of long-acting when blooming tapers off. If you used liquid fertilizer, all you can do is flush it out by thoroughly soaking the soil and let it run out the bottom or wait for the effect to wear off. Verbena will grow in poor soil so it is adapted to low levels of fertility. Here is more info on Verbena care; https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/verbena/growing-verbena-plants.htm

    It is always best to transplant in spring, however, these are pretty resilient. You will be safe to plant these, but don't wait until too much later to do so. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/verbena/growing-verbena-plants.htm

    This species is actually Alternanthera. They are only hardy in zones 10 and 11. They do not have a dormancy, so they will have to continue growing in spring.

    I believe the best option for you will be to grow these in container, then bring them in during the winter to let them keep growing in a bright locations.

    This will depend on if they were mature or not. If they were still alive and not opening at all with green coloration, then they were not near maturity and will not be viable. If they were opening and starting to dry, then you might have some good seeds. A photo can help me to determine if your seeds are viable.

    These require being in the dark, and can take anywhere up to 12 weeks to start. Place them in a dark area and check them each day to make sure they haven't started. If they have, you will want to transplant these that have into the light. This article will guide you on their care after this point: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/verbena/growing-verbena-plants.htm
