No. It may degrade it some, but not completely remove it.
Needs to be polished

Like mentioned it will degrade it some, if you are wanting to remove completely you would have to do a strip wash.

Perhaps just a little bit ... but not much at all. There is no soap or clay that I know of currently that will remove a fully cured coating. It takes polishing (abrading of the surface).
Why are you clay barring afterwards, have you done the baggie test after washing to see if necessary ???

Grab a sandwich baggie and put your hand in it and rub it along the paint.
If smooth you will not feel any contaminants if not you will feel every tiny bump.
Best to apply some detailer prior to testing.
It is surprisingly sensitive.

The baggie test (use saran wrap as another choice) is a valid way to measure if claying is truly needed. You just lightly float your hand on the surface. Trust me, if there are contaminants needing clay to remove, it will grab the material.
I will note that recently I thought my Wolfgang Uber coating needed something. I've been looking for a good wash product that made paint feel new and back to its original application. I really liked the Gyeon Bathe + product. Perhaps you are in a similar boat.

Not sure about Wolfgang Uber Coating but generally any surface contamination I see on or feel on my clients Vette's would be addressed with a Nanoskin Surface Prep towel. Using a product such as Shock I am able to recondition the applied Glass Coating without inducing any marring or minimizing the coating. It would be different if fine scratches or etchings are present, then a light polish would be performed and the glass coating is reduced taking the least aggressive approach...
