(OP)
In a strip footing of a cantilever retaining wall, is one
layer of Temp and Shrinkage in the long direction sufficient? Are there any requirements for T&S in both the top and bottom?

Albeit I admit its been years since I designed a concrete retaining wall, and 90% of the time I'd just use a State standard plans. I only designed walls when there was an anomaly, property line, unusual soil condition, etc.
Also the cost of the steel is usually not an issue, so I recommend put it in if you have any doubt.
