Are there API calls or a tool that I could use to transfer 1% of documents from an index in a production cluster to a test cluster?
Hopefully there's some trick using snapshot/restore that I'm not seeing.

Snapshot and restore works on full indices, but you may be able to use [reindex from remote](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/docs-reindex.html#reindex-from-remote).
