Regarding your concern about Anenu for the Ashkenazi practice of omitting it in the morning lest you come to eat, the Magen Avraham (OC 565:3) felt that was not a problem even at an early mincha because Rama ruled (OC 562:1) that Anenu can be said (in certain circumstances) on a partial fast day. Here you have at least fasted most of the day so saying Anenu can't be construed as lying.- However, there is long precedent for specifically praying mincha at the end of the day on fast days (see Taanit 26b and Megillah 30b). It seems it was seen as doubling as a quasi-neilah prayer at the end of the day.
