Do wild Pokemon change between day and night in Gold and Silver?

Yes, and it's new to the series. Gold and Silver run on a real clock split into morning, day, and night, and the grass swaps species along with it. Hoothoot only turns up after dark, for instance, where the daytime route hands you Pidgey. If something won't appear, come back at a different hour.

What are the Apricorn trees along Gold and Silver's routes for?

Material for custom Poke Balls. Routes 37 and 42 and Azalea Town have trees that each drop one Apricorn a day, and Kurt in Azalea turns a color into a matching ball by the next morning. A white one becomes a Fast Ball for skittish Pokemon, a black one a Heavy Ball for heavy catches like Snorlax.

Gold & Silver Route 14

Hedges wall off the farmland this route crosses in southeast Kanto. A collector here will trade away his Aerodactyl to the right visitor.

Route 14 is in Kanto. In the story you arrive from Route 15 to the west and continue east to Route 13.

Another shot at the 1 percent Chansey, sharing the grass with Skiploom, Noctowl, and a daytime Pidgeotto, with Corsola on the rods nearby.
