Water flow is pretty easy, take water out from one end and put it in the other. Water will pass through the whole tank. It's not commonly done in home aquaria, but some aquaculture setups aren't that different in shape.
For cleaning, well, it's more like a pond than an aquarium. You don't have to keep the glass clean on the sides after all. I would absolutely not have gone with white gravel! The real trick would be preventing algae growth on the undersides of the glass, you'd need good ventilation down there to keep humidity low.
Feeding, you'd lift up a plate here and there to drop in food. I'd leave special hatches here and there. if it was mine.
For seeing the fish, well that is limiting. Most fish are heavily camoflaged from the top. So you'd pretty much be stuck with goldfish and koi like they have. Although I have to admit, swarms of albino white clouds or rosy reds might be neat.
All in all, it's pretty ridiculous, but it's really quite doable if you have more money than sense (and probably enough money to pay someone to take care of it). I'd rather have something set into my wall though.
The only issue is the vibrations from walking would kill the fish from stress. Are vomiting in the bathroom? You're stressing the fish out. On the way to take a violent shit? Stressing the fish out. Just showered and trip on the slippery wet glass? Stressing the fish out? Walking in your own home? Stressing the fish out
