Highly unlikely any of that caused a CEL. Go get the code scanned and we can help diagnose it further.

It'll clear the code, but if the code is indicative of a larger issue you won't know what's going on with the car. Get the code scanner and figure out what you're dealing with, then clear it.

Codes should clear once the issue is resolved. Check your air filter and all the intake connections. Mine threw misfire codes when my intake was adjusted by the dealer and it was found falling off. Stillen intake, 2010

Killing the power to the ECM is what I would consider an all-else-has-failed option. As per Chuck33079, any DTCs will be cleared, plus, the ECM will have to relearn the engine and the emissions system will not pass until you have made several trips.

It doesn't hurt anything, so give it a try if you like. But grab the DTCs before you do.
