I'm pretty sure that Captain Smollet blew the candle out in the lantern just before he, Rizzo and Gonzo were taken by the wild boars in Treasure Island. Also, does Fozzie taking a sip of his drink in GMC count as drinking?

Is there a page for Muppets who light matches and all that sort of thing?

Oh, good one! I'll go ahead and make a gif for that, thanks!

I would say no, since it's not a display of a functioning mouth the way the other examples are.

Not that I know of. There could be if it's interesting enough. Where does it happen?

A couple of SST examples I can think of are from Episode 276, and Elmo Saves Christmas: in Episode 276, Ernie drink both his and Bert's sodas through a straw; similarly, Elmo does the same with a glass of water he wished for because he was thirsty.

Does Big Bird blowing out birthday candles in a (circa) season 21 episode (I can't remember the title) count?

Yeah, probably! It depends on how the effect was achieved, I guess. Let me know if you remember which episode it was and I'll try to track it down and add it to the page.
