With regards to closing expired items you may take a look at
org-expiry.el in the contrib directory. It provides a function to
check for and act upon entries that are past their expiration date.

What I am not quite understanding is the wish to be unable to clock in
a closed item: Isn't clocking in something you do deliberately?
