Otherwise keep the tank open, as in not in-wall.
Drill through wall is not an option because wife would kill me :-), and if we decide to move, gonna have to patch it. So is it fine to seal the cold air return and have the fan to vent the air to other room?

yes....this would be the cheapest and easiest thing to do.....get the moist air out of the "closet" and into the main area and let the HRV take care of the rest.......

You may want to consult an HVAC guy before you seal that return
