So, I guess that if this is a clash, the die would have been in about a 45 degree rotation?

No it was in a normal position. They tired to remove the clash lines and widened out that side of the building a bit. (removed part of the field in that area) thus it looks wider there with the fields isolated to remove a clash. It may have been an issue with Feeder Finger Damage or a dropped die on that area. But the end result is, the fields were altered in those areas make the top of the building larger and the nose and hair appear to be altered.

A normal dome has 7 supporting columns. This one appears to have 8 or maybe even 9 supporting columns. I guess I am just not understanding correctly...so the polishing dug so heavily into the field alongside the column on the left - - - enough to create 1 or 2 extra columns? Seems very strange, but I guess it is possible (?)

I see no evidence of intentional die abrasion. The two "spikes" look like two parallel die gouges. Since they extend upward beyond the cupola and are thicker than any column, it's difficult to see how this could be a doubled die. Still, since they parallel the columns of cupola, you should submit the coin to a die variety expert to see if it is a doubled die.
