Yes...remove the TPS and MAP sensor as well and clean out the port on
the TB for the MAP sensor (not the actual MAP sensor though).
No advantage to removing the O2 sensors as they are not "cleanable". If
the sensor(s) is older than 60K miles...just replace it (or at least the
front sensor in '97+ models).
Yes, you can clean the IAT sensor...but it doesn't do anything for
performance. The IAT sensor doesn't really care if it's dirty or clean,
unless it's REALLY dirty (then you've got other problems such as a
leaking belly pan or excessive blow-by).

Subject: DML: Throttle body cleaning?
I know that when doing this it's best to remove it to do a thorough
cleaning and you should remove the IAC for a proper cleaning. Should
you also remove the TPS and MAP, and should these also be sprayed with
TB or Carb cleaner if removed from the TB? Also is there any advantage
in removing the O2 sensors and spraying them and cleaning them with a TB
or Carb cleaner, and can this also done with the IAT sensor in the
manifold? I think it's time and just need some advice from those of you
with more experience than myself on this subject.
Thanks for any advice
Jay
