Does anyone know when the Sonata for Clarinet and Piano by Francis Poulenc was written? Also, does he have any other clarinet pieces?

Poulenc wrote the Sonata near the end of his life in 1962
I believe.Two friends of his wrote pieces, Honegger and
Tailleferre. Tailleferre composed an unaccompanied work
and Honegger a Sonatine for A clarinet.

(In French.I think you can read.)
He composed only one tune for a particular set of instruments.i.e. Only one sonata for flute and piano,only one sonata for clarinet and piano,only one clarinet duet....

Yes, it is bi-tonal. The top line is in Bb and the bottom is in A.

The top clarinet part is for Bb clarinet, the lower part for A clarinet. That in itself does not make it bitonal.

The duet for clarinet and bassoon is cool - i play it with my sister, who is a bassoonist (doh!).
Also a really lovely piece is the Sextet for Piano and Winds, although i haven't played it myself!

The piece, or even just a passage in a piece, must be in two keys at the same time. Good examples can be found by the composers Bartok and Stravinski. Having a piece which is atonal, or even dissonant would not qualify as a bi-tonal example. The Poulenc is modern, often dissonant, but having one clarinet in Bb and one in A would not make the piece, by that quality alone, bi-tonal. It would depend on what notes are written for the instruments. Think of this example: You play in a concert band. The natural scales of some of the instruments are: flute (in C) French horn (in F) clarinet (in Bb) alto saxophone (in Eb). All these instruments can sound in perfect consonance if the correct notes for that sort of sound are written for them. They can also sound dissonant if the composer chooses. But, simply because their natural scales are not the same would not make two of them be bi-tonal with each other.

Have you ever even heard this piece performed? It sounds bitonal, not just because there are 2 different types of clarinets!

You still don't seem to understand what is meant by bi-tonal. And yes I have heard and have also performed both parts and have taught the work to several clarinetists. You seem determined that you must be right, so you think what you want and I and many others will think otherwise.
