Well I do know he did all of that. He pressure washed the floor before setting up plastic but it was dry when he painted so it may have been some particles stirred up.
Base coat/Clear coat should not be sanded after base coat. If you have a defect in the base coat then sand out and re-apply base coat. I find with spray cans if you can get the sandable primer perfect the rest goes on fine. Most times it is best to simply wait for imperfect paint to dry ( usually 30 minutes and sand with 800 grit) and recoat base. The clear coat only adds shine no "filling" or correction. Usually I add 3 semi- heavy coats of clear so I can wet sand after if it's not perfect.

Fish-eyes are the result of silicone contamination. It doesn't take much. There are times when you do everything right and still get them. Additionally, applying the clear too heavy, or too wet, will increase the chance of fish-eyes.
As for your predicament you have two choices. Actually three. You can sand and polish; you can sand and shoot more clear; or you can live with them. The severity of the fish-eyes are a key factor in the decision process. I can't see them in the photos thus I can't make a recommendation.
As for scuffing the base coat that is not something I would do although that is probably not the cause of the fish-eyes unless whatever you used to clean the surface after scuffing was contaminated.
