HALACHOS OF BEIN HAMETZORIM
1) When Shabbos Chazon falls out on Erev Tisha B'Av (as it does this year), it is permitted to eat meat and drink wine at all three meals. (Shulchan Aruch Siman 552:10)
However, the third meal (Seuda Shlishis/Seudah Hamafsekes) must be finished [with Birchas Hamazon] ample time before sunset, as the fast begins at sunset , unlike other Shabassos where one may extend his Seudah Shlishis beyond Sunset and it is still considered Shabbos as long as Birchas Hamazon was not recited. (See Mishna Berura S"K 24).
2) It is permissible to sing Zemiros at all the Seudos of Shabbos, even for those who don't usually sing Zemiros every Shabbos. (See Shu"t Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 4 Siman 112:1)
One may eat and/or drink at the Seudah Shlishis in order to have strength to fast on Tisha B'Av; however it's best not to verbalize this intention, as that would be "Hachana", preparing on Shabbos for after Shabbos.
