Yes, that's correct. Some cloning software might not clone the EFI partition, so just install Clover and copy the EFI folder over.

Justin, I tried using OC on an external hard drive with USB caddy. I left my primary internal SSD untouched. I was curious to try OC and it was a good mess, honestly. I recommend you to firstly solve your issues with clover, to read carefully dortania's OC guide (read it all, many times) and finally, if you feel quite brave try to "adjust" your files to OC. I suggest also to test your future OC files using an external drive/stick before trying with your primary drive. But, unfortunately, I'm not able to understand your issue. Apologize

Clover setup shows several mistakes. For instance, you've installed SMCHelper.efi driver (which is only required if you use FakeSMC kext) when you use VirtualSMC set of kexts. If you want built-in ALPS TrackPad to work and be recognised, you need to use Dr Hurt's VoodooPS2Controller kext. It's available in Dr Hurt's dedicated thread and in the Clover packs posted in the various guides we have for the E7x50 models. I can't remember which ALPS version these E7x50 are fitted with but I don't remember specific issues with them when I had an E7250 in my hands. Re: SSDT, if you're talking about the CPU power management one, you have to make sure you use one that was generated for your own specific CPU. If you (re)use an existing one meant for a different CPU mode, you'll encounter trouble, of course. If in doubt, boot without such SSDT and generate your own one using Pike R Alpha's well-known and good old generator script.
