It's possible that all 4 reasons are the culprit, especially if it was a done at home job. Another problem is that if the hood is fiberglass, and a flex agent wasn't mixed, that can lead to premature clear coat failing since the fiberglass flexes, and stretches more then metal. Same thing when you see poly bumpers with flaking clear coat. The rest of the car may look good, but if its an aftermarket paint job, a flex agent wasn't added, or didn't hadve the correct amount added.
As to go about properly removing the clear, I'm not sure how to do it without losing some paint, but removing as much delaminated clear as you can is a good start, however the old clear may make a step with the new clear, so much sanding and buffing to blend may be needed after curing. Id talk to my co worker who's on this site that went to school for painting (94camaroz28)
