Unless the lead ends up being played by the keyboard player, you'll probably have the tune (melody) when you're playing. You may have to change the octave to your preference for the style and mood of the music (if it's a dark, moody ballad, maybe play in a lower octave, it it's up-tempo Dixieland or "modern" then maybe you want to be in the upper register and even in the altissimo (where a conventional tenor part won't go). As long as you stay out of the keyboard's way during his solos, you can do whatever seems idiomatic to the clarinet.
But, no, you don't have to do anything to account for the Bb transposition and, yes, you may need to transpose an octave lower, depending on the context, if you want to be at the same pitch level as the original tenor part.
