1- ABET is in the clue backwards after you remove O.
2- there's a letter to remove for the entry (the first one)'flaming' is a colour and 'firewood' is 3 letters both reversed.
3 yes, ON END
...for 3 take (c) from ON(c)E +ND
...because 'ape' should be cape to give the 'c' required by wordplay.

Do the letters from the * clues go under neath the grid?
Yes.
Tidying up my desk, I've found one blank cell - and my mind has gone equally blank! The clue is - Note mostly generous old-fashioned woman. I believe the answer to have five letters, the entry only four. I have LAI?
The 'note' = LA and'mostly generous' = [K]IN(d) with the [K] to be dropped from the wordplay.
sorry, to be dropped for the entry.
Thanks, PM - what a lovely word (before it's shortened for the grid)!
Yes, Nical - those were the days!
