You can have an atomistic solvent or a continuum solvent, but not both

If so, how does one usually chooses this value of epsilon_r? Is the

It's in your topology.  The "qtot" entry keeps a running total of the charge on 
the protein.  The last line in [atoms] indicates the overall net charge.

Nope. You should read the documentation for the force field - probably 
the original published manuscript - and see how the others were 
developed, and try to do something consistent. There's no reason to 
expect a correlation between charges calculated with an arbitrary QM 
method and the partial charge *optimized parameters* used in an 
arbitrary MM force field.

If you are extending a force field, read how they developed that force 
field and do something consistent. The above looks more like you are 
making something up entirely, in which case do whatever you like, but 
you've got a better chance of getting past referees if you either use 
something close to an existing methodology or demonstrate its 
effectiveness by comparison with existing simulations or experiments.
