I have one of the pressurized cleaning bottles that couples just as the keg does. And don't assume that because your system is limited use it needs cleaned less. Once that beer enters the lines and faucet, the bacteria does the same thing it does in a system that is drawn every minute. The flavor of your beer depends on you maintaining the lines at least once a month (I do mine weekly).
For a temperature gauge I suggest a GOOD freezer/fridge thermometer to monitor the cabinet temperature. The Wal-Mart ones are not good ones IMHO.

The premium kit has a drip tray that has a hole for the shank and a cleaning kit. The cleaning kit should suffice for your use. Direct draw systems at retail are cleaned every two weeks. If you allow the maintenance to slip, you will know by taste.
This thermometer will read the liquid temperature all the time. Mount it out of the way so it does not get beat up by the keg. Calibrate it prior to installing. Fill small bucket or pot with ice and then pour in water. Dump additional ice in to acquire a consistent ice bath. Place device in bath and if it does not read 32F, while holding dial, turn nut on back until pointer reads 32F.

Google keg balancing. About halfway down this page there is info on setting your pressures. http://www.alabev.com/draught.htm
