My bike is about 5 years old but it is extremely reliable and good.

I think that chain can be cleaned up with an old rag and some oil with no problem. Single speed bike chains are pretty tough and don't wear as fast as multi-speed bikes. If you think you need a new chain and don't want to spend the time cleaning and lubing yours, you will need a new chain and a chain break tool and learn to measure and set the new chain length and use the master link. Youtube and Google are helpful tools on these matter too.

Usually you tighten the pedals with 6mm allen key or a 17 mm wrench. It could be the cranks as well.
