Puppy Love with a fou Tintin (a comic) (11)

Anagram of 'a fou Tintin a'
Comic=anagrind
'Fou' is a Scottish word for drunk, and French for mad
Puppy love=def

Love being a member of big country where leader goes to university (11)

Defn - Love
being a member of - in
big - fat
country - (n)ation
where leader goes to university - (u)ation

Sorry, I also missed the last sentence about parsing. Here's my three again:

#8 - Setter people overran corpulent university with passion (11)
"Setter people" = I + NATION - "corpulent university" = FAT + U - "passion" = definition

#9 - Beguilement comes when I fan out a tin (11)
"Beguilement" = definition - "I fan out a tin" = anagram

#10 - A unit of a nit makes love (11)
"A unit of a nit" = anagram - "love" = definition

In fact, caution should be thrown to the wind, when wanting, they say, to seize love (11)

Anag (should be thrown to the wind) of "Infa(c)t(c)aution", without (when wanting), they say (homophone indicator) "two c's".

Defn - love

Tuck into a Tuna if it's hunger.(11)

Simple anagram.
Tuck, anagrind
into a tuna if = fodder
Hunger = def.

Hunger felt, select and pick up an Indian with fish & chips cooked here for starters (11)

Hunger felt = Def
select (as a noun) = U
pick up = homophone of -
an Indian = Asian / ation
with fish & chips cooked here = In fat
for starters = (in fat) placed at the start

In fat U ation (Asian)

Chiaro
Both my entries are straightforward anagrams
First crush is anagrind and def
Second compounded is anagrind and folly is def

Frying? Its correct but not right to have your ration. Not deep fat but very deep love (11)

Frying=INFAT
Ration-R+U= UATION
Very deep love= DEFIN
Not deep fat = MISLEADER!!!!!

Crush a United fan into unfamiliar Shed end (11)

Crush - def (but referencing football terraces in surface)
a united fan into - fodder
shed - deletion indication
end - delete the letters "e", "n" and "d" from fodder

The Shed end is the home of Chelsea fans - sworn enemies of United (Manchester, Leeds, West Ham etc. etc.)

My explanation of this clue includes a dig at the petty ultra-Xim insistence on giving anagram indication to deletion fodder not in sequence.

err.. and unfamiliar is the anagrind!
