1) Maltruant also curb-stomped an upgraded Clockwork and has existed for all of eternity. Its clear that Clockwork is nowhere near Maltruant's power and skill. Clockwork has to build up to that kind of time manipulation by turning his key, leaving him wide open to attacks. Even if he did slow down Superman, it likely would not have much effect given how fast he is. Superman is so fast that time seems to stand still while he's having conversations with the Flash. Even if Clockwork did slow down time, its unlikely it would be that effective against Superman who can create a similar effect just by being Superman.

2) Which he has to activate for it to work as shown when Charmcaster was able to easily one-shot him. Even then, he doesn't have anything to put Superman down. Possession won't work as its failed against much weaker beings. Ghostfreak's other powers are just too weak and Ben isn't the kind of person to just wait it out, even if he was Superman would just have to wait 15 minutes (potentially less) for the Omnitrix to time out. Even if you bring up the failsafe, its unlikely the Omnitrix could keep turning him into Ghostfreak for days or even hours.
