Questions:
Is it OK to run the filter during the freeze?

Since you're also running a stock heater, running filter okay... and a very
good idea as it will help filter start-up in spring happen faster. The only
concern is if the fish have no quiet area to rest if flow is too fast
causing a current they have to swim against all winter.

Should I "cut back" the plants (right now they are very high and the
netting is just covering them)?

Cut them above the highest water line after frost knocks them down. If
canna is not hardy it should be brought into a dark cool spot inside after
frost.

Should I revome the floating plants, or will they survive and regrow in
the spring?

Remove, they'll die and rot in the pond. ~ jan
