It is tough to say. Different jurisdictions treat witnesses who want DV charges dropped differently. It is best to consult with an attorney, possibly her attorney, over the phone about this.

In Florida, an Arthur hearing may be held to see if the defendant should be granted a discretionary bond. If a victim "doesn't show" for this, it doesn't mean the charges will be dropped.

A victim doesn't need to appear at sounding.

If a victim repeatedly... View More

I think you mean 'accused of kidnapping". She could accuse you, but it's extremely unlikely that anyone will take the accusation seriously.

No. You are responsible to the landlord for the rent. The landlord is not a party to your relationship, has no interest in your relationship, and the law does not require the landlord to purposefully suffer a financial loss because of your failed relationship.

If you no longer trust or have faith in your attorney it sounds like you should consider hiring new counsel.

Comply with the temporary injunction. Get an attorney.

No, you have no cause of action against your landlord or against your neighbor. Take your landlord's advice and move when your lease is up.
