Re: Leaves browning around the edges
Browning out because a banana gets to little sun is not very likely. Seems to me your banana just needs to toughen up for a while. Every new leave will become stronger and stronger. If possible...

Re: Leaves browning around the edges
It could also be that this bananaplant was grown inside and isn't used to full sun. Then it goes through an adjusting fase. The old leaves will get sunburn. But the new leaves shouldn't get it...

It could also be that there is a flower coming. Then the leaves also will become smaller and smaller untill you get a flag and then the flower.

Re: Should I cut fruit?
Can't you dig the plant out and try to overwinter the stem with the flower and one with fruit inside? The stems will die anyway so there is no harm in trying. If it works it's no loss.
