ok, so i know the magic number is 36:16. i've just got a single speed chainset with a 38t ring on, so does 38:18 equate to 36:16?

sort of, ish.
You might find that a bit spinny for round here. Try 38:16. Works better for me on pootles down the garden. Or at least it would if I bought some brakes and stopped using the shed to slow me down.

you want a 19 on the back presuming 26" using a 2:1 ratio. yes 19 can be found. but i would go 18T .
here is a little bit of maths using constants to gibe ratios that will give a similar feel that is not wheel size dependant.
here is a good starting ratio.
55 is the magic number.
20" BMX. 55/20=2.75 44/16=2.75
24" MTB 55/24=2.3 36/16=2.25
26" MTB 55/26=2.1 34/16=2.1
Obviously not all sprockets are made in all sizes but this gives a basic overview.
now if you had a 29"
55/29 = 1.89 38/1.89= 20T
