Does anyone know what facial muscles are used to play? I'm trying to do a comparison between those used for clarinet and those used for trumpet for my senior board presentation, and I can't find it anywhere.

never heard of who uses which, but it'd be an interesting study especially with all the personal variations.

A great resource for anatomical info, but this just ain't correct:
"2. The throat should have an open feeling. Form an AH sensation."

There are a bunch of various muscles around the lips but for my money the most important to know are the buccinators or cheek muscles (most commonly used in everyday life for sucking thick chocolate milkshakes through a straw).

The resources linked above here are pretty good. But there's a much more complete instruction here that covers the correct muscles involved in clarinet embouchure as well as practical tips and advice for improvement:
