Nope, didn't need to. It was tested as one of the few Soviet designed naval vessels to fall into American hands, and then donated as a museum.

Escobar was seen as a national-security threat than a law enforcement one. A CIA sponsored (and SEAL Team Six run) operation got rid of him after the war. Unfortunately, his Hippos (just like the ones OTL) escaped and are living in the jungle in Colombia.
Once he was no longer needed after the war, General Noreiga wound up facing a serious coup against him. Unlike OTL's in 1989, this one succeeded. And yes, the coup leaders had him put up against a wall and shot (as is the norm in Central and South America-style coups).
But the canal is still returned to Panama on December 31, 1999 as per the 1977 treaty (or an analogue of it)?
The 1977 treaty went through as in OTL, but the U.S. Military maintained the garrison in the Canal Zone to guarantee it stayed open. It was returned as per the Treaty, but there is still a U.S. presence (11th Airborne Division and USAF elements) to make sure.
So Fort Clayton and Howard Air Force Base still remains in Panama in ATL 2023-2024? Compared to how these were closed and transferred at the end of OTL 1999?
That is correct: Fort Clayton is the HQ of the 11th Airborne, while Howard AFB hosts an AF composite wing (one F-16 squadron and one A-10 squadron).

(@Matt Wiser mentions that technology is 15 years delayed in OTL so in ATL 2023-2024, the internet and computers is in IOTL 2008-2009 levels).
B-2A Spirit intercontinental bomber of the United States Air Force. The B-2s are based in Whiteman Air Force Base, Ohio. The B-2s were still in the prototype stage in the war and was shielded at all cost to prevent its components and files to fall on the COMBLOC hands. It's role is to penetrate deep into Soviet airspace without being detected by its dense network of radars and air defenses. This intercontinental bomber ironically entered service in 2003, a full decade after the Third World War ended. The public and politicians in Congress are divided whether America should continue operating these expensive bombers without a big adversary in the 21st Century.
Some Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates are attacked during a Soviet Backfire bombing on Subic Naval Base, Zambales, Philippines.
Did they attacked the airfields in Philippines like Clark.

Yeah it's from Pearl Harbor. Funny how they portrayed having modern frigates in WWII.
I chose this image because the closest I could think of that would depict an attack on Subic Bay.
i would imagine the PAF like on other airbases when the pilots scrambled their jets bagsakin ang mga gago na yan!!!
If we follow OTL, the PAF patrolled the skies above Luzon, Batanes, and the EEZ as Soviet Tu-95 bombers routinely crossed the country's airspace. Most sent to intercept were F-5s and VF-8 Crusaders. With WWIII breaking out in the Red Dawn universe, I'd imagine the PAF would have increased those patrols.
Maybe we'd have someone like Danilo Atienza (OTL died in the 1989 coup when his F-5 crashed after strafing rebel T-28s in Sangley Point) claiming a kill on a Tu-95.
