Answer 1

Leave it up and make sure you keep water in it, then in the summer make sure you shock it.  It will be fine.

Answer 2

You can leave it up and filled. However to prevent damage from expanding surface ice you should float a few large items to absorb the movement. Such as an old inner tube or two. The ice expansion is small but very powerful and without relief via floating items may well push out the sides.

Answer 3

It would probably be best to take it down so that the winter weather does not destroy the pool.  

Answer 4

my step daughter leaves hers up all winter and she lives in ohio so i cant see why you would have to tear yours down every winter.  

Answer 5

if it i metal or aluminum frame you can leave it up.... we JUST got ours taken down after 20 years of it being up constantly.... there made to with stand the weather... no do empty it a little bit so it doesn't expand to much and cover it with a water pillow under neath the cover so the ice has some room to expand... you also are going to want to get a winterizing kit so it doesn't turn swamp like.... and whatever you do DO NOT totally empty your liner unless you are going to fill it back within an hour or so and not on a hot day... the sun will shrink your liner and you'll have to trash it.... happened to us once!!
