You can use SHIFT + O to open the "Select Output Device" dialogue for
Device Toolbar:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Keyboard_Shortcut_Reference
You cannot allocate shortcuts to a particular device.

Meter Toolbar is not screen reader accessible on any platforms at the
moment:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Accessibility
To check for possible clipping, you can use Analyze > Find Clipping
which adds labels for any clipped regions:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Analyze_Menu#Find_Clipping...
The labels are not read out in the label track, but you can have them
read at Tracks > Edit Labels. This could cause Audacity to crash or
freeze if there are a lot of labels.
It's probably better to set a fairly low input level in Mixer Toolbar and
Amplify the recording afterwards.
