You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.
wotc2 Feb 2024
Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
wotc2 Feb 2024
Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Clue tokens.

Evidence Examiner's last ability triggers whenever you collect evidence for any reason, not just when you collect evidence with its first ability.
