Correction letter count for # 3. It's 5. So the clue should read -

3. Steward makes everyone veer back in. (5)

Sorry for the error.

It's neither STALL nor STINK. Doesn't even start with a "S."

Initially the means it should start with t.
My guess is T+homo of synonym of musty.

For # 1, FIRST as FUST-hom is correct.

#8 is incorrect. (hint: A+B type clue)

Just to close this - the solution for # 8 is:

8. Leave for a turn. (5)

FORGO ----- for + go (a turn) = leave
