I guess that's why the 32bit Macsense Cardbus card is faster than Pismo AirPort.

802.11g is a lot faster than 802.11b. Nothing to do with the host interface.

Might my Mini Pci-e SSD fit in there?

Definitely not.

Will it even be possible to do a retroactive Classic install anyway?

Yes.

Does the Pismo have only a single Cardbus slot? If there were two, I would say just get a CF card & adapter sleeve and call it good.

I've also got a DOA CD, maybe I can turn that into an OS9 HDD expansion cartridge?

An internal one? Yes, you can do that: there are ATAPI CD bay to SATA drive adapter/mounting frames on ebay for ~$15. Alternatively you could use an ATAPI to CF adapter and CF card.
