I would pretty much have to have "The Doctor's Wife" somewhere on my list. Otherwise, +1 to all of these.
As for what I'm hoping for Clara . . . oh, good grief, so many things. Let's see:
I would like to see the Doctor go from cold and slightly scary to happily companionable with her. For one thing, that would fit the arc, and for another, it would be the inverse of what he did with Martha (starting out quite charmed by her and then attempting to force a distance between them by basically sticking his fingers in his ears and going, "RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseI'm not listeniiiing . . ." for an entire season).
Assuming rumors are right and Clara is displaced from the present day, I'd like her and the Doctor to realize that they're talking to a fellow time traveler at approximately the same moment. Perhaps one of them makes a pop culture reference and the other one catches it, leading to a brief pause as they both realize that it hasn't been written yet. This should lead to satisfactory amounts of Eleventy-flail.
I'd like to see a student-teacher dynamic, somewhat like Seven and Ace. Complete with nose-booping if possible.
I'm quite looking forward to seeing her reaction to the TARDIS, because it seems to me that Moffat has done a good job of individualizing those. For instance, maybe she immediately starts trying to work out how it works, out loud, but keeps circling around to some irrelevant detail, like, "Why is there a hatstand? If the hatstand goes away, does it all collapse? Is Mary Poppins's giant hand going to reach in here and pull out the hatstand?" etc. But really, the exact nature of the reaction doesn't matter so long as it fits her.
I would like for Clara to flirt with many, many characters, but never the Doctor. I'd like Clara to end up with a woman, long-term. I'd love for it to be Nefertiti, but I realize that this is a pipe dream and people would probably accuse them of ripping off Big Finish.
