You can buy clips that attach to the spreader bars on the recessed light itself, then the clips attach to the suspended ceiling bars. You may need to add a pair of additional suspended ceiling bars to make this work. Armored cable should be run to energize the light.

How many linear ft of track lighting per 20 amp circuit?

You need to address this from the prospective of current draw per light. The length is not really the issue. Your continuous current should not exceed 80% of 20 amps, or 16 amps. Now if you were using certain halogen bulbs the current for each might be 1/2 amp each so you could have 32 such bulbs. Do a sample layout in what is called a reflected ceiling plan (Imagine the ceiling plan on the floor) and see how many lights of what current you plan to use and break up your circuit as needed.
