I am pretty sure Clinton didn't quite know what the Taliban were all about in '97 other than "just another extreme Islamic fundamental group".

Still no reason to deal with them.

was Bin Laden even in Afghanistan in '97 or was he still running around Somalia and other parts of that region then?

We can't be sure, but Al Queda was pulling off embassy bombings around that time in East Central Africa.
