So, pastiche aside, what ARE the hints from the original Howard stories on how Conan came to the throne?
We know, for instance, that Conan strangled Namedides "on his throne the night I took the royal city" (Scarlet Citadel). Are there any other similar tidbits scattered through the stories?

I believe some hints and tidbits are scattered throughout the pages of The Hour of the Dragon, but it’s been a long time since I last read it, and the fine details escape me. It’s not a long novel and certainly worth a re-read for research purposes...😃

Reading the drafts of Wolves Beyond the Border and Untitled Notes under Miscellanea in Del Rey's Conquering Sword of Conan probably your best bet:

There are some scattered throughout Phoenix on the Sword as well!
