Weird Y (8)

ATYPICAL = Definition is "Weird", Wordplay is an anagram (weird) for "CAPITAL Y".

Strange non-uncle, perhaps? (4)

CLUE My original guess was RARE, which seems to be the correct answer, but MOehm gets credit for the better explanation.

Combining everyone's answers, and applying MOehm's theory, this is the meta puzzle:

Strange non-uncle, perhaps? (4) = RAR{E} (credit: MOehm)
One ton one under sun begun, perhaps (10) = MONOTO{N}OUS (credit: Neil W)
Weird Y (8) = A{T}YPICAL
Mixing endless accessories (5) = BL{I}NG (credit: Neil W)
Disconcerting　major exit! (6) = ES{C}APE (credit: F1Krazy)
Perhaps, a resting spot with an eccentric, eccentric start (9) = PERCHANC{E} (credit: MOehm)
Direct, and headless (7) = CO{M}MAND (credit: Techidiot)
Perhaps, every permuted tie and portion (12) = ALLIT{E}RATION (credit: MOehm)
Under-emphasise (9) = U{N}DERLINE (credit: MOehm)
Gained for the first mixture with. (8) = PROFI{T}ED (credit: MOehm)

Meta puzzle: When you put together the selected letters (at the letter position equal to the number of words in the clue), you get ENTICEMENT!

Weird Y (8)

Strange non-uncle, perhaps? (4)

CLUE My original guess was RARE, which seems to be the correct answer, but MOehm gets credit for the better explanation.

One ton one under sun begun, perhaps (10):

CONSONANCE = Definition is "One", in the sense of unity, which is a synonym for consonance. Wordplay is [ton one under sun begun][perhaps], where "perhaps" indicates that the rest of the wordplay is an example. The other words are an example of consonance because of their shared "un" sound.

One ton one under sun begun, perhaps (10):

CONSONANCE = Definition is "One ton one", which demonstrates consonance. In this case, they are consonantal with the "N" sound, which is a consonant. Wordplay is "under sun begun, perhaps", referring to how "on on on" in the definition rhymes with "un un un" in the wordplay.
