Specifically does this plate amp come in a plastic housing that I can put in its own small enclosure or does it need "breathing room"... If so how much clearance from the back of this amp would I need to leave?

The plate amp you show has the heat sinks on the inside, a bad design choice for a sealed or small enclosure. Regardless of the "clearance", it will heat up an enclosure.
Most plate amps have the heat sinks on the outside, so do not need any more internal space than the component occupies.
So perhaps if I make a small enclosure within the sub for this amp and vent that area it would be better? That should allow a more structurally sound sub enclosure since I can brace every surface vs. having resonance issues from the back of the amp housing.
Good idea, no reason to build a solid sub and compromise it with flimsy amp.
You can probably find a DC supply in the amp and put a little computer fan blowing up through the "chimney" to keep the amp enclosure cool.
If the sub is not sealed, the amp will get enough air thru the vent. (unless you put a cover on the amp)
