How to connect a porch swing to my cealing in my living room.

Hello all, I am about to get involved in some risky business... I rent a studio which I would like to make into a 1 bedroom flat. The landlord does not allow drilling in the ceiling and the floor so I am going to try to build a drywall without connecting it to either. The drywall will include a sliding door (IKEA Lyngdal wardrobe door :) , which I already have ). The slightly open L shape of the drywall, together with connecting the end studs of it to the current walls, are expected to suffice in holding the wall in place. If you can take a look at the attached images of the planned wall and tell me your opinion, I would be very grateful!

I am remodeling an older 1.5 story home. A header was put in between the kitchen and living room years ago by previous owners and the ceilings were all dropped from 9' to 8'. I tore out some sheetrock next to the header that was bad, only to find that the header does not sit directly under the floor joist. What they seem to have done is cut the 2X4's approximately 8" under the orignal wall and butted the header against these. The opening is 14.5' with four 2X7 (actual width)X14.5 boards nailed together for the header. Holding the header up are spliced 2X4's (2 on each end). I want to move the header directly under the floor joist but need to know 1)if the header, in place, is strong enough for the opening it is sustaining and 2)if not, what do I need to use for the header to support the wall adequately. I am aware that I would need to build 2 temp walls to support the above floor while raising the header that is there now as the joists are spliced. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
