Lily bulbs store much better in the ground than out of it, in my experience.

Yep. As long as you keep it moist, but not waterlogged.

Leave it outside and let it do its thing I think. It may not come through until next year now though.
If your lilies have been eaten it's probably the lily beetle and the larvae. Have a look for either bright red beetles on the plants or ugly lumpy things covered in what looks like bird pooh ( these are the larvae) and then you will need to squish them. I know this sounds mean but they devour lilies and it's the only way. :)
