I pruned my tomato plants yesterday. Can I use the clippings from the same plant to fertilize it? I currently have put the clippings in the soil around the tomato plant.
That's okay if the tomato plants are disease free. You just don't want to reintroduce disease inoculum. It's best to compost the material and then mulch with the finished compost.
I have a raised bed garden box that I have planted tomatoes in last season. Do I have to do anything to the soil this season or can I just plant tomatoes in the box again this year and just fertilize?
Plant nutrients are used by the plants and some are leached from the upper soil profile with rain and irrigation. So it's best if you re-charge with a soil test based Rx for amendments. Or if that is not practical or affordable for your small garden box, use a mineral rich and balanced general purpose fertilizer product.
In addition to the fertilizer, or if you don't do anything else, incorporate (dig in) a copious amount of real compost.

Plants are small and putting on a lot of fruit. Should they be picked so nutrients go to plant
Contrary to what many gardeners believe, thinning of tomato fruits in warm summer areas has no effect on the flavor or nutritional value of the remaining fruits, and only a slight influence on fruit size. In fact, fruit thinning may increase problems with fruit cracking, especially if you thin fruits just before a heavy rain. Commercial growers often thin to enhance uniform ripening, but home gardeners have little need for a crop that ripens all at once.
If it is not cutworms is there something else that would make such a clean cut?
There are several pests that can do this damage.

I wish to know which of your tomatoes varieties could be suitable to climate conditions in Northern Nigeria where the temperature is between 30-40oC around April to June each year. he rainy season in the northern part of Nigeria lasts for only three to four months (June–September). The rest of the year is hot and dry with temperatures climbing as high as 40 °C (104.0 °F). Alpine climate or highland climate or mountain climate are found on highlands regions in Nigeria. And such variety could be cultivated under irrigation systems. There is extremely very huge tomatoes market around this period ( April-June) and sometimes until rain season tomatoes are available. The prices of tomatoes around this period is prohibitive around this period. Therefore getting tomatoes variety that could be cultivated around the time of scarcity would create serious cash inflow for farmers and investors alike.T
