It doesn't enable "start and stop bits"; those are always enabled for
I2C.  It enables the interrupts for those bits.

I2C slaves do not generate clocks.  The clock rate is controlled by
the master.

then it uses the value in SSPADD to generate the baud rate.  If thats
the case, where is the address for the device stored?  I just have a
disconnect how these are all related.

That puts you in I2C master mode.  Masters don't have addresses.
