Alcohol sanitizes NOT sterilizes
If your spawn is clean you should be fine to just rinse out your shoebox with some soapy water and then rinse with clean water or throw it in the dishwashing cycle if it can withstand the heat 
Honestly I haven't used gloves in awhile with fine success, lots of TC's been using dry SAB's with no gloves for awhile with no issues, technique is key 
I dont know man. I guess maybe I go overboard. As RR stated, im not an advanced mycologist or anything. The shoebox tek I use stated to wipe them down with iso even after washing them with soap and water, before adding spawn. I wear a tyvek suit, hoodie,face mask, and gloves all the time, whether its MS innoc, just g2g, or just spawning. I usually reapply the iso to my gloves in between jars/boxes. May not be necessary but I havent had many contams either.

The only thing necessary to do when spawning is to have a relatively clean shoebox. Meaning no visible debris. Spawning is done in open air with non-sterile materials. It won't contam unless you had dirty spawn or you made some shitty nutritious bulk sub with coffee or sth. Doesn't matter how advanced you are. You're basically cleaning yourself to work with dirty materials.

No. It could be an issue if you were using a tub that's visibly dirty tho. Especially if it's dirty from grain water or sth nutritious. The goal here is to not have anything inside that could be a germination spot for nasties. But contam spores are expected to be everywhere when you spawn.

that's way overkill man, idk why clean rooms and tyvek suits are becoming a thing again
I'm usually in agreeance with RR but I gotta disagree on this one, running a dry SAB can be a great way to test how sterile your procedure is and the save valuable iso, obviously get good practice first before diving into a dry SAB but I've used a dry SAB and no gloves for awhile now with no issues except when I get to stoned and rush things multiple TC's and regulars have played with the idea with success
You can literally sneeze or spit on your spawn and if its clean it will be fine
