Could someone explain when one can one versus the other?
Case 1: I think of you as a friend
Case 2: "A person that you may think to be intelligent "
Case 3: "A person that you think to be your friend"
In case 2, should I use "A person that you may think of as intelligent" ??
In case 3, should I use " a person that you think of as friend"???

yeah, you have to use "as" in these examples.
re: the last thing you wrote
you can't just say "think of as friend"; in that case, you have to precede "friend" with an article. specifically, you have to say "think of as your friend" or "think of as a friend".

you can say "believe to be intelligent", but not "think to be intelligent".
such is idiomatic usage; that's just the way it is.
