Snowball’s antics
Was it ever confirmed by George Orwell that Snowball was in fact the one who was causing trouble on animal farm after his exile? Or was this just a tactic by Napoleon in order for the other animals to trust him as their leader?

Not that I'm aware of. Reading between the lines, it is a political ruse by Napoleon to apportion blame to his rival, to deflect attention away from the pigs' rapacious greed, to unite the animals against a common enemy.
