  1. Change your mind and install that receptacle in the space adajcent to the space occupied by the dishwasher. That's the only place it's permitted [422.16(B)(2)(1)].

  2. You can permanently connect it, if it meets all of the conditions in 422.16(B)(3). You also have the option of cord-and-plug-connecting it if it meets all of the conditions in 422.16(B)(3).

  3. It must be between 18 inches and 4 ft long [422.16(B)(4)(2)].

  4. It has to be identified for the use and installed per 314.27(C) (an outlet box system can be used this way also). Alternatively, you can use a listed outlet box system as described in 422.18(2). Otherwise, support the fan independently of the outlet box.
  5. Yes, it's there not just for appearance but also for protection. The only exception is when it's covered by a ceiling fan canopy [422.20], in which case (as you noticed) it's still covered. Just not by a receptacle face plate. The canopy is the cover.
