Hi Le9669:
Let me address theory on the 1st part of your question regarding tempo fluctuation among clarinet players.
One suggestion is that the period in which this concerto was written was a time when composers didn't stipulate every aspect and nuance in the music of how they expected it to be performed: hence interpretations arose.
Stanley Drucker, a clarinet living legend, expresses these sentiments in a master class, beginning around 5:00

This, along with many other fine videos on clarinet can be found in Dave Blumberg's "Youtube - Clarinet Videos" thread.
.......
As far as suggestions on tempo is concerned, why not search youtube for various artist's interpretation of this, consider your own technical skill and acceptance/adversion towards speed, and come up with something that works for you.
Best of luck with this!
