It sounds to me like you are trying to retro fit a coaster brake onto a geared bike frame. Does it have horizontal dropouts? You are going to need them so that you'll be able to djust the chain tension. I'm also thinking that resetting the rear triangls spacing might be easier than rebuilding the rear hub.
It is a geared bike frame. It has track ends so it can also be a single speed. The only brake mounts on the frame are for disc brakes. Which she doesn't want because she really wants a streamed line look for the bike. It could be run as a fixed gear but she doesn't feel comfortable with the stopping methods with those. I have found a few wheelsets that would work but they are quick release. You really can't get good chain tension with them as compared to bolt ons. I know it sounds goofy but if you have ridden a bike with a coaster brake lately they are fun.
