Root password needed so you could login, not for it to work. For example I use rsa auth instead.
This line worries me, how exactly are you trying to connect? Because connecting to localhost from another machine is wrong.
Also it might be because sshd is not started after installing package, reboot device or run thisCode:/etc/init.d/ssh start

have you try cleaning the install??
i.e. sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server in xTerm?
Hopefully that will bring it back to a state where you can start off scratch again.

Then I dropped my phone, the back flew off and the battery came out.
The N900 started up fine again, but the openssh server does not work (I expected that to happen since it never truly finished installed)
I can "uninstall" it fine from the app-manager, then attempt to reinstall it. When I do, it tells me the installation fails, but it appears yet again in my uninstall list. Upon attempting to ssh to the n900 (localhost) it fails to connect, so it's not working.
Any ideas or help on how I can clean up this botched install and start clean with it?
If you don't know how to check your N900's uptime, you probably shouldn't own it.
