Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

None of those issues sounds very serious to me.

I'd just grab the two dropouts in my hands and pull them apart. Since you're talking about less than 5 mm. it doesn't take very much go permanently cold set the dropouts.

Derailleur will work fine. You'll have to radjust it a bit.

How old is your chain? I think that I'd replace it just on general principle. Trying to eke the last bit of wear out of a chain is counter productive.
