Answer 1

If you want, you could facilitate your process with a global temporary table as follows:
SQL> create global temporary table clob_temp (
  2  id         number,
  3  test_clob  clob)
  4  on commit delete rows;
Table created.
SQL> Create or Replace procedure run_clob (p_id in number, p_file_name in varchar2)
  2    AS
  3       l_clob          clob;
  4       l_bfile         bfile := BFILENAME ('TEMP_DIR', p_file_name);
  5  begin
  6      insert into clob_temp values (p_id, empty_clob() )
  7               returning test_clob into l_clob;
  8      DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
  9      DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(l_clob, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_bfile));
10      DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_bfile);
11      insert into clob_table@dlog_link (id, test_clob)
12               select * from clob_temp;
13      commit;
14  end;
15  /
Procedure created.
SQL> select count(*) from clob_table@dlog_link;
  COUNT(*)
         0
SQL> exec run_clob (1, 'clobtest.txt')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select count(*) from clob_table@dlog_link;
  COUNT(*)
         1
