Having an issue with this chain, chain is loose on 7 but tight on other settings, how do I fix this?

Okay you may be referring to chain slack or how tight the chain is wrapped around the cassette gear - either way it's the fault of the derailleur. Check the spec for "max teeth" (not total teeth) and compare it to your cassette. It may be spec'd for 34 and you have 34 or slightly bigger. If it's a match either get a longer cage derailleur or a smaller cluster gear. Some variation of this.

Does this chain come wih connecting links or pins? If not what is reccomended?

Yes, it does come with connecting pins or Rivets if you will, I would personally recommend the KMC 5,6,7,8 speed Missing links as I personally think you should just ignore using the pin.

Will this work okay on a 9 speed crankset?

No. Not at all. Don't even try. The dimensions are completely different. Everything about a 9 speed drivetrain is slightly skinnier. The differences are miniscule (.5mm at most), but it's enough that putting a 6/7/8 speed chain on a 9 speed drivetrain is just a sloppy thing to do. So...don't. =)
