Is it true that the intersection of the closures of sets $A$ and $B$ is equal to the closure of their intersection?
$ cl(A)cap{cl(B)}=cl(Acap{B})$ ?

No, the rationals and the irrationals (in the reals) are disjoint so $operatorname{cl}(A cap B) = operatorname{cl}{emptyset}=emptyset$ while $operatorname{cl}(A) = operatorname{cl}(B) = mathbb{R}$

No. Take $A=(-1,0), B=(0,1)$. Note that $0$ is in the closure of both of these sets.

No, it's not true. Look at this page, or this question.
A simple counterexample stolen from the question cited above is as follows:
Take $A = (0,1)$ and $B = (1,2)$. Then we have
$$operatorname{cl}(A) cap operatorname{cl}(B) = [0,1] cap [1,2] = lbrace 1 rbrace $$
but
$$operatorname{cl}(A cap B) = operatorname{cl}(emptyset) = emptyset$$
