Short answer: no. A bad clutch will not cause a misfire.

You've got several things going on here in your explanation of symptoms.

My guess? Disconnect your MAF sensor and see if it smooths out and runs. If it does, we've learned something.

In the meantime:
That you bled your clutch and then it worked fine for 7k, (that's 7000, not 7km, right? ) and then it suddenly exhibited same problem, well, that suggests you're on to something. But that the car starts without pushing the clutch down, well that suggests someone's been in there before you.
