Yes, that's right. Mistake on my part: the MS does indeed have a natural sign in front of it, which I should have reproduced.

Yes, I agree; however, this doesn't have a natural sign in the MS.
As you say, the context requires a B natural in both cases.

In this case, though, the 'next trill' doesn't have a sharp sign in the MS, though 'technically' it should have, in order to make sense. However, I have reproduced what is in the MS -- as had been my intention throughout.
You should clearly play C#.

I don't really understand what you mean by the difference between a slur and a tie. There is a ligature connecting the two notes, written rather late in the bar.
To add to the confusion, in the MS, the nachschlag is incomplete; there is only one gracenote, a semiquaver C, with what might be a miswritten B or a sharp sign in front of it.
There are a couple of instances of this sort of inconsistency on Weber's part -- they don't excuse my own error above, of course -- but they, like my own error, are the sort of thing that a performer would 'naturally' correct. For instance, the first clarinet entry after the pause after the second time bar is written: (quaver rest) E G# B E F G A and then B in the next bar.
Everyone (rightly) plays F# and G#, not F natural and G natural.
The point of posting the pdf was a rather different one, however, to do with making clear the extent to which subsequent editing (as in the 'lusingando' section I mention in the the thread in which the pdf appears) routinely applies dynamic markings like crescendos, contra both Weber's MS and the classical tradition.
You might want to do that, of course; but you should at least have the option not to do so available to you.
