I really don't understand. You mean: Would sooner+ Clause instead of Would sooner+ V?
I find the sentence My teacher would sooner have I finished the reports yesterday, but I couldn't sounds better.

It may sound better to you, but it is not possible in English composition. Use what I have given you.

Would sooner = Would prefer?

Would sooner someone + had + V_ed ( Is it used in the past?)

Yes, that's right.

Yes, that is past. Non-past is "I'd sooner someone would + V inf".
