I cannot afford an attorney. My partner in business is filing a petition and a restraining order on me. Should I go to the hearing for the filing of the petition without an attorney?

No. Often times you can hire a free student lawyer. These lawyers are supervised by the Law Professors at the University and can represent you in court to the best of their abilities provided you do not want to pay for a lawyer.
You must attend the hearing even if you can't arrange for an attorney to represent you. If you don't appear your partner will get a default judgment.

How do you vacate a restraining order?
Most restraining orders are set to automatically expire after a specific time period. (ex: 30 days, 90 days, one year, etc.) If you want the Court to terminate a restraining order BEFORE that specified date, you must Petition the Court that granted it for an Order to Terminate. The Clerk of whatever Court issued the Restraining Order can help you with the required paperwork if you don't have an attorney. Remember though, once a Court issues a Restraining Order, it is rather reluctant to terminate it before the date contained within the order. Courts don't like to waste judicial time with people changing their minds.
How do you get bail lowered?
From what I know you have to either go in front of a judge and request that it be lowered or have a lawyer do it. Another option to consider is to request being released on a PR or and OR. Meaning personal recognince or own recognince. Basically your word is the bail money. You promise to appear in court. Hope this helps.

You have not explained who you are or if you have legal guardianship over the sister. You should consult with an attorney if possible. You may be able to obtain a restraining order and/or file a lawsuit. If you cant afford an attorney then collect your evidence of repeated complaints that were determined to be unfounded and visit your local civil court to get information about filing for a restraining order. Your documentation can be submitted to the judge at your hearing.

Can a restraining order be false?
In my experience, a restraining order cannot be issued until after a court hearing has been held in which case BOTH sides get to tell their story to the judge or hearing officer. However if the respondent fails to appear for the hearing it could be issued due to their default, at which time it becomes incumbent upon them to request a court hearing to defend against the action.
