question 1) yes 7.5" rim width will work, a .5" difference in rim width won't make much of a difference with a 205 size tire.
question 2) Saab went to a higher aspect tire from 50-55 to give the rim a bit more protection against being bent. The ride on a 55 will be slightly less harsh due to slightly higher sidewall.
question 3) don't know about that tire but I'm sure tirerack has an opinion from people that have purchased that tire
question 4) tech II is a computerized device that all Saab dealerships use to make certain changes to the onboard computer. Use this link to determine your speedo error after upgrading to 16" wheels: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
