Would an unused portion of the retainer fee be given back to after the case? In which account would it go while the case is pending?

It is correct that in New York non-refundable retainers are not permitted. As for the rest of it, I would need to see the actual documents in order to state an opinion.

If I have a judgement against a couple for personal injury, how do I go about putting a lien on their house?

You get an Abstract of Judgment issued by the Court then you record that document in each county where the defendant has property.

Is this medical malpractice or misdiagnosis? Shouldn't they have listened and did a simple x-ray at least?

In order to prove a medical malpractice case, a claimant must prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, resulting in an injury. A bad result is not enough, and if it is a "judgment call" by the doctor, there is no malpractice, even if the doctor made the wrong call. You will need to get copies of your mother's medical records and have a doctor review them; if he/she is willing to testify that the emergency department's physician or staff failed to conform to accepted practice, then you have a case. Heart attack often does take the form of back pain. However compression fractures will show up on x-ray, they shouldn't even have needed the MRI. I'm not sure what you mean by "her options are limited because it has now advanced". There may be something to go on, on the other hand without severe consequences these cases can be too expensive and time consuming to pursue, even if malpractice can be proven.
