In the DVD deleted scenes, Sonny definitely suspects Clemenza of being involved in the assassination attempt on Vito, to the point where he only wants Tessio's men sent to the compound for security in the aftermath. I do not recall what he finds out to clear Clemenza of suspicion
He finds out, from his sources in the phone company, that it was Pualie who had made contact with those who shot Vito.
As far as who's to blame for Paulie, well, when I read the question this quote from Michael, when he is talking to Tom, came to mind :
"You see -- all our people are business men, their loyalty is based on that. Now, one thing that I learned from Pop was to try to think as people around you think. Now on that basis, anything's possible."
