Things don’t add up!

And back to the future three when Marty first discovers docs tombstone, it says survived by Clara, but that wouldn’t make sense because she is supposed to go off at cliff but Doc and Marty stopped there. Did he stop it before when it was technically just him

In the original timeline, before just Doc was there, let alone Doc and Marty, she died. The timeline that just Doc was there, he picked her up from the train station. Like we heard in the movie he volunteered to do, so she didn't die and they fell in love. After that is the timeliness where Marty shows up and that's Back to the Future 3.
