I was watching an old Peanuts cartoon and I heard that he did "The Puppy Song" by Nilsson and "Bella Note" in the cartoon "He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown".
Any other songs that he did outside of Charlie Brown?

Some of his songs later appeared in other films and TV productions, but his original screen compositions were done only for Peanuts specials and movies.
Guaraldi scored A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), the first Peanuts special. He continued composing for all of them until his sudden death in 1976 (of a heart attack) at age 47.
He did compose jazz tunes outside the screen. His new version of "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" was a big hit and won the 1963 Grammy for Best Instrumental Jazz Composition.

Has "Cast Your Fate To The Wind" ever been played on a Charlie Brown Special?

"Cast Your Fate To The Wind" in '63, which was later covered by Sounds Orchestral to great success a few years later.

Yes. An episode of "This Is America, Charlie Brown". Performed by Dave Grusin, I think.
The segment when Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, and Peppermint Patty fly to the moon in a space ship as astronauts.
