Phrase it as feedback on yourself. "Hey I've been doing some reflections on my day to day structure and habits, and I've noticed myself doing x,y,z. It would be helpful for me if you did ABC because I know that's how I respond best in situations like that." 

Also keep a record of incidents where they've crossed a line, it's something that can be discussed on QRs.

I would second this for sure. Also, while it's easier said than done, you should be just as transparent with your boss as you are with your prospects. Your boss won't get the best out of you and no one will be happy if this kind of behavior continues.

This is a tough one.

What do you mean by Micromanaged?

KPIs or just looking over your shoulder?

Be organized and proactively engage with them PRIOR to them reaching out to you (e.g. provide an update to your pipeline, strategic deal, etc. before they ask you for an update).

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
There are a lot of questions here but for starters:

-Does your manager always remember what he/she asked you to do or is it more of a constantly telling you to do stuff but never actually checking on half of it thing?
-Are you on top of all your shit (ie: CRM, target accounts, forecasts)?
-How are you and the team on quota?
-How long has this person been a manager?
