I know I will need film holders to preload before going out. My questions is with using the "direct positive paper" instead of film.

A: Direct positive paper still needs chemical processing in a darkroom with traditional type paper developers.

Q: 9. What's the closest it will focus for the advertised 'macro' use?

A: Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list a minimum focus distance for the Lensless 4 x 5" Pinhole Camera (Baltic Birch). According to the manufacturer, a unique feature of pinhole cameras is that depth of field is of no concern sample photos; everything in front of the camera is equally in focus.

Q: 10. does it accept paper or just film?

A: You need to use a film holder on this camera, since the actual back is not light tight. It's only light tight once there is a film holder in place. Assuming you can load a 4x5 film back with a sheet of paper, then you can shoot either film of paper with this camera. Hope this helps.
