I could just play knock out, but I tend to spin things a bit.
(EDIT: Don't get me started. I'm from a state that has produced most of the US Olympic squads for the last few bonspiels.)

2. Why are there no AI's on the street? There's apparently enough AI's in town to support the fighting rink, but the only ones we've ever seen out and about are in the cast.

A quick check tells me that Northampton has a population of just under 28,500. In today's comic we see 14 people besides Clinton on one very short section of street. 14 people would make up around 1/2000th of the population of the city and therefore no where near an accurate representation of the demographics of the city.
Likewise, the AI we have seen in the comic do not constitute an accurate representation of the AI demographics in Northampton. Bubbles, Punchbot and the other AI seem to be housed in specifically designed combat chassis. Meanwhile you have the likes of Corpsewitch who seem to embody the 50s/Robots film aesthetic with the stick thin arms. We have the Pintsize style AI, the small companion-types who presumably worked in a limited area such as an apartment.
Also, just because we don't see any AI in frame, doesn't mean they aren't there. We know that a great number of AnthroPCs reside in the Northampton area as evidenced by the party from when Marten and Faye moved into their current apartment, not to mention Winslow and Momo are and were a large tablet model and chibi model respectively. One can assume from that the a sizeable proportion of the AI population could still be running around in their original chassis, weaving in and out of the legs of the people on the streets.

or the universe giving him time to rein in the creepy. Despite what movies tell us, people do not like being stalked/followed/chased after.

Indeed. Best move for Clinton now is to throw up his hands, walk back to COD and say "Well I tried, didn't see her." He could add, "Must not have been meant to be, or she would've been here when I arrived or we would've met at the door." to silence his sister. Hey it might work.

Don't rule out anyone (there are enough mild-weather garments being worn to hide skin seams and that includes the curling team that might answer your Question 3) or anything (such as the pickup and car we see and the van that's mentioned. Clinton's hand has demonstrated autonomy. And how smart is that smartphone in panel 1?)

Do you have the stones for it?

Oh, we're going to start with curling puns now, eh? Well, you can just sweep that aside in a hurry. I think you'll find our lack of tolerance on this to be right on the button.

Just so long as we avoid ice puns.
