does anyone know if you have to replace the bolts on the S/C and I/C after they have been removed to clean them?

Cleaned my intercooler twice and have helped many others and we have never had to replace the bolts.

you should replace the IC to midplate bolts since they're TTY and could be ingested into the engine if they come loose since they're on the bottom of the midplate, but you really don't need to separate the IC from the midplate to clean it. The rest of the bolts you're perfectly fine reusing.
