I appreciate the responses, but we just purchased the water heater seen in
the pics like a month ago. The one that was there before had been there
since '94, and the dip tube was disintigrating and clogging our faucets with
little plastic pieces. It's because of that recent purchase that I'm trying
to figure out how to resolve this without buying ANOTHER new water heater.

Thanks again.

1) How can we vent this water heater the right way, with its own
compartment or something, such that we don't have to move the water
heater?

Get an electric water heater.
