Hi there hivemind,

I'm in search of the following dances and would be grateful to anyone who
can help me out:
1) Cupid's Clout (...Cupid's Cloud? Something like that? A lovely flowy
dance with pousettes)

Jim Hemphill's "Cupid's Hey" has pousettes:

2) Square Route (petronella spin --> 3 changes of a square thru)

Don't know.

3) Looking for name and author of:

    A1: circle L 3/4
    N swing
    A2: long lines
    square thru 2
    B1: next N. bal & box the gnat
    gents allemande L 1 1/2
    B2: P b&s

One possibility is that it's the 'becketization' of a ones-improper dance that begins when you meet your next neighbor:

     A1: N. bal & box the gnat
         gents allemande L 1 1/2
     A2: P b&s
     B1: circle L 3/4
         N swing
     B2: long lines
         square thru 2

This is pretty close to "Dancy Nancy" by Katy Heine:

It's also similar to your own "Treasure of the Soda Bar":

And the first three-quarters are identical to those of:
 -- "Bristol Court" by Melanie Axel-Lute:

 -- and "Traveling Salesman" by John Coffman:
