Fiddler has 2 clarinet books: one (reed 2 IIRC) has all the good solos, and the other (reed 3 IIRC) doubles bass clarinet. The bass clarinet requirement is not extensive: only one number in each act (again IIRC).
Whether you are on stage for the Bottle Dance depends on how it's staged; unlike the Fiddler, there's no explicit requirement to be so. The music for it is notated straightforwardly, with the expectation that you'll apply klezmer-style interpretation to it. Not sure what you mean by "in different keys". The first part of the solo is in C# minor, though IIRC it modulates later.
There are also important passages in Sabbath Prayer and To Life.
Into the woods: the single clarinet part calls for clarinets in Bb and A, but the A parts are not extensive, and can be transposed easily enough. As with any Sondheim, timing of entrances is as much of a challenge as anything else.
