Should you grease the point where the clutch rod fits into the part the clutch cable pulls on to push the rod in?

Yes you can grease that end piece of the rod,... but it is more important grease the entire length of the rod that goes into the engine and pushes the clutch plates.

It is most important to remove the worm gear from the sprocket cover, unscrew it, clean it and grease it. It catches all the gunk from your sprocket area and can make the clutch operation temperamental, at best.
