I open a new composer and select ANSI A for my paper. The notation after the name is "Letter; 8.5inx11in", but the width and height are displayed in mm, and the units selection is grayed out, so I can't change it. The rulers at the top and left of the layout are in mm, and the parameters for "Snap to grid" are also in mm. If I then select "Custom", I can select inches for units, and the Width and Height display as 8.5 and 11. However the rulers in the layout are still in mm, as are the units for the grid.
Can the entire composer project be converted to inches?

You can't (as of 2.12). The "units" selection in the composition properties tab only changes the units for the display page size. Everything else is hardcoded to use mm (ie rulers, item positions, item sizes, etc).
