I have both TRIX and Detailer's all exterior cleaner. Does anyone know if TRIX or Detailer's all exterior cleaner will strip sealants?

If left a little dry, they would leave what appears to be etching on the clearcoat, which will require polishing to remove. Does anyone know what that is?

Is Citrus Power from Auto Finesse better and safer than the All Exterior Cleaner?

Out of the 3, which is mos harmful to the paint and other surfaces?

I think they are all pretty paint safe if used as directed. These type of products shouldn't be left to dry on paint - so there may be your problem. Another point to consider, I can't see any of them not degrading wax.

TRIX contains 40-50% petroleum distillates, which makes sense if it's going to dissolve tar. It's therefore going to take a bite out of your sealant or wax.
