Answer 1

You need to compare the value that stores the selected client in the registration and compare with the values that are generating this SELECT and add attribute selected to position, example:

 @if ($cliente->id === $apontamento->cliente_id) { 'selected'; } @endif

Complete:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="cliente">Cliente</label>
    <select name="cliente" id="cliente" class="form-control" >
        <option value="" selected>Selecione</option>
        @foreach($clientes as $cliente)
            <option  value="{{$cliente->id}}" @if ($cliente->id === $apontamento->cliente_id) { 'selected'; } @endif >{{$cliente->user->name}}</option>
        @endforeach
    </select>
    @error('cliente')
    <div class="alert alert-danger">{{ $message }}</div>
    @enderror
</div>
