RE: doubling

The easiest first double for most clarinetists is saxophone. The fingerings are essentially the same with some minute differences. Flute takes some alterations to get used to, such as no resistance, virtually no weight. And some other issues that are nonrelated to clarinet. Sax uses an essentially similar embouchure.
If you go with flute, be sure you practice clarinet regularly. I began making the mistake of over-practicing flute for a couple weeks and it took me a week to get my clarinet embouchure back.
