    If the tree was knocked over by wind it also disturbed the roots, and not once but twice.
    Then with the heat your new tree is clearly stressed.
    You need to treat it as a new planting and water daily and when temperatures are above 85 degrees twice a day would be best.
    Daily water for at least 2 weeks and then you could cut back but check the soil. If dry water more.

    Adding 2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch can help with moisture retention.

    Willow trees normally do not drip sap. It is more likely what you are seeing is honeydew from insects. This article will help with that:

    Pruning in spring as you would for standards is acceptable and won't harm the tree - in fact, it responds well to pruning and it will help keep its overall size in check, promote summer leaf color and winter twig color.

    The answer is no, in early spring the stems break and catkins form.
    When the catkins grow they produce flowers.

    this is not an answer but wanted to add to my above question, Oklahoma had a wetter than usual summer and then the heat came back with no rain. Also there is no sign of insects, mold, etc on bark, limbs or leaves.

    It is a bit early yet, my Willow are just beginning to wake up, nearly the last shrubs in the garden to show leafing.

    You an remove any dead plant material from the Willow at any time.
