How do I clean a rusted cast iron stand?

Use a wire brush to take off the loose flakes. Scrubbing too hard might scratch the surviving paintwork. Once the loose rust is gone, wipe the surface down with a lightly oiled cloth. Some people apply a black grate polish to protect the raw metal.

I bought a wooden hall stand but it is missing the metal drip tray at the bottom, so where can I get a replacement that fits?

Finding an original tray to match a specific stand is difficult. The dimensions varied between every maker and model. Try a local sheet metal worker. They can cut and fold a simple zinc or copper pan to fit the space.

Can bentwood umbrella stands hold wet umbrellas?

They were built for it. The original varnish offered a barrier against the wet. Wipe wet spots off bentwood after use. This stops moisture lifting the old finish over time.

My iron umbrella stand has a loose piece on the top rail that wobbles when touched, is it safe to just glue it back into place?

Glue rarely holds heavy cast iron together for long. The joint takes too much stress when someone drops a walking stick against it. Check the back of the joint for a missing bolt. Most foundry pieces slot together with square nuts and bolts. You just need to source a matching replacement thread.
