The cover did a great job of protecting my car, but got pretty dirty from all the needles that ended up on it (hence when aiming to clean it - I put up this post).

Do I now need to thoroughly clean the inside of my cover to protect the paint from damage?

Depending on how dark your color is and how picky you are about the shape of your clear coat. I would asume you got the cover to protect the car, so I would answer your questions with 'as clean as possible' and 'yes'. The scenario you just described, especially if repeated, will do more damage to your clearcoat than just leaving the car uncovered.
