Can the ladder be shortened? I'm looking for a solution for a 24" length opening...

I believe you will need to enlarge the opening because the steps do not collapse to less than 24".

does this need a separate frame in order to install this?

No it does not, the ladder comes with it's own frame. that can be folded. You will need to have sufficient structural (ex. double 2x wood) support to bolt the ladder to.

Do you sell the attic door as well? It says it’s sold separately. Can you post a link?

You will need to build your own door,frame,and trim.There are no instructions for this,except a lousy picture

Can the ladder rungs detach to customize for height

No. My ladder did not land exactly where I wanted it to. I made a Velcro strap to tie two rungs together so it would always end at the right spot.
