Comments on the clue
1."strike in favour of FROM facing down" would be needed for the wordplay
2.I feel moving one letter is hardly an anagram. BUt the clue works – so that is something
3.Too bitty for my liking
4.Complex construction that works, though surface is not convincing and fallen officer for Nelson seems a tad tame
