Playing Clarinet from easy piano sheetmusic

I acquired a song book (Mary Poppins) for easy piano.
I have noticed over the years that easy piano song books can mean different things. I have seen some that are simply the melody lines.
In this case, I can tell at a glance that it is definitely easy, but just a bit more complicated than plain melody lines.
In some ways, these filler notes and chord notes between the melody lines can probably afford the clarinetist the chance to also improvise using these notes, but here is my question...

In general, if there are two notes on the same note, does one basically play the higher note? Also, if there are two or three notes on this one note, can a clarinetist actually play some of these or more than one of these notes by opening up or closing really fast to sound like someone playing a chord on a guitar, that fast?

How does one really tackle using this kind of in between sheet music, without loosing some of the extras it offers, but still sounding clearly the melody line?

Any information on this would be kindly appreciated.
