Do the locks freeze in NY winters

Not in wisconsin winters so I would assume no.

Why doesn't the push button work on the back side of the lock when trying to get in from the outside?

That has only happened to me when it was locked.

how come you can’t unlock and remove key?

Make sure it's in either locked or unlocked position, then bring it back to the center, then remove the key

Can the latch rod be mounted on either side? Or do you have to install it upside down? I need it on the left side of the lock.

Yes this Viper latch is universal and can be mounted on either side, as the brackets on the latch slide out to be turned other way to suit your installation side.
