You could do about 4 small fish in that tank. Some suggestions, are pair of ocellaris clowns, sixline wrasse, yellow watchman goby.

I've been debating my stocklist for a similarly sized tank for months now. I think I would like
1) clown (ocellaris or percula)
2) royal gramma
3) sixline wrasse
4) greenbanded goby (not popular for some reason unknown to me)
They're just what I'm thinking about. As far as inverts I would also like to keep an arrow crab, a blood/fire shrimp, an urchin and then a few smaller things like hermits and snails. You can find a pic of some nice specimens of these species here. I'm a little worried its too much. Just noticed I didn't say much about the size of those fish, none of them should grow larger than 3 inches (the image sizes are not overly representative of the species sizes).

That's a good list. You could actually get a pair of Clowns. Royal Grammas tend to be secretive - so consider a Pygmy Angel, like a Cherub or a Flameback.

I got spooked early with keeping pristine water conditions since 29 is considered a small tank and decided to keep my bioload down. Currently in my 29 I've got 2 false percs, 1 blood shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 8 astraea snails, 10 nassarius snails, and 12 mixed hermits.

Not too smart. Tangs need tanks of 6' in length and over 100 gallons. Your LFS is just looking to sell the fish to you. I wouldnt trust them. Just about every tang gets to be like 7'' or more. not going to work in such a small tank. Even if its small a month wont even work for it. It will get stressed possibly get a disease and then die prematurely.

Only if you have small fish. It really depends on the fish. For example, if you decide on 2 percs, 1 gramma, and 1 firefish then I think you could add the clown. Personally I think 3 fish in a 29 is perfect.

I would also stay away from getting a tang. Your tank is to small and will cause stress on the tang. They like to have a long tank to swin in. My lfs would not even sell me one for my 46 gallon. They told me I need at least a 6ft. long tank. I would just be careful, you don't want to hurt the fish.
