Answer

I wouldn't say a person was either of those words.
But I'd say that of someone's personality.

I found her personality sickly-sweet.
Her personality was cloying.

Answer

Hi Pablo, 
These adjectives are more naturally used to describe behavior, especially speech.  "Her words were cloying."  That sort of thing.

Answer

Thank you so much, Rowena

Answer

Definitely coying. 'Sickly sweet' isn't incorrect, but I would usually expect it more when describing a flavour or other experience. (Incidentally, you probably know this, but the two phrases don't quite mean the same thing)
