In response to centering the wheel in back:

First, put the wheel in the dropouts and tighten both axle nuts.  You don't
have to really muscle them on (yet,) just get them tight so they don't move
around in the dropouts.  Next, loosen (only) the drive side nut and push the
front of the wheel laterally towards the chainstay.  This will move the
freewheel back, tightening the chain.  When the chain tension is where you
want it, (really) tighten the axle bolt.  Now, loosen the non-drive side
axle bolt and push the front of wheel laterally back so it's centered
between the chainstays.  Tighten the bolt, double check your chain tension,
and off you go.

I hope my description makes sense.  I learned that years ago from Sheldon
Brown and it's one of my favorite bike mechanic tricks.
