Nice, I also picked up a used flip flop wheel for my ghetto conversion. For the tight chain you may need a half-link
For fixed gear, BMX, or any other cycling setup where the chain slack is not adjusted by a rear derailleur or chain tensioner, it will allow you to get the rear wheel as close to the frame as possible.
Here is a half-link chain piece that you can stick on your current chain to eliminate rear wheel gap.
I think this looks pretty cool but they could take out another half-link and get the rear hub closer up in the dropout.
I don't think there is any true benefit to having a full half-link chain though. It's just for looks. The single half-link piece will solve any problems with a long chain.
Yes, this is one of the best aspects of SS bikes to me. The biggest issue is the design of your dropouts. Also, a half-link will be your best friend in regards to dialing in your chain tension.
That said, if you have a full suspension bike you will need a tensioner to combat chain growth through your travel, unless you have a concentric bottom bracket or unified rear triangle.
