Answer 1

No, it is not likely the light. unless it remains in direct light for long periods, and even then there is a bigger problem.

It looks like you are using heavy clay soil. This will be the cause of the issues, and could kill the tree eventually. It will be best to use a mix of potting soil and compost with a little sand added. This will be light and airy which will allow the roots of the tree to breathe.
