Do not sand the basecoat. That is very unnecessary. The orangepeel comes from the clear anyway, not the basecoat. I don't even know what the point of sanding the base coat is. Go ahead and apply about 3 coats of clear. Let that dry and wet sand with 2000 and buff it out, and it will have no orangle peel and look awesome. In my 10 years of paint the only time I have EVER sanded the base coat is when I did the rust effect. Which you arent doing here.

since ive let it sit over night, should i wash it with soap/water to remove dust that may have built up on it?
After seeing it dry, i did notice very little pores come up. More than likely from the spots i may have overlooked while sanding. Its very very minor though

No. Just use a tack rag if you have one to get the dust off. Dont wash the fresh basecoat.
