Your picture doesn't show whether your frame will accept brakes or not. It doesn't have cable guides (not a big deal), but I can't see whether or not it is drilled for brakes. It almost looks like there's a hole in your fork, but I can't tell for sure.

You can run brakes on a fixed gear. Or you can take them off if you want. Putting brakes on a bike doesn't jeopardize its ability to become fixed gear.

You can re-space your current hub out to 135mm to avoid getting a new wheel, unless your axle is too short. In that case you'd have to get a new axle.
