How much to tip a taxi driver in Kampala?

Typically, taxi tip in Kampala amounts to 10–15 percent of the total fare. But tipping always stays at passenger's discretion.

Are fares always shown in US dollars?

When I get the taxi fare quote from "taxi fare calculator", is that per person?

The taxi fare quoted is for the trip and for as many people there are in your group - up to capacity of the cab. So, it is per car. The only exception is carpool services such as UberPool, for example.
