I've done some comp research on this but it all yields different results. Some say that with the angle the chin is located, sliding the chin forward (only horizontally) will automatically add vertical height. Some disagree. Does sliding genioplasty automatically lengthen the face a bit?

Your facial growth pattern is a main reason for the appearance of your chin. It is likely that the lower jawline is not very 'steep' and so the lower jaw 'points' forward more than downward; resulting in a more prominent chin. As well, often the lower incisors are 'retroclined/upright' and that...
Depending on the depth of the chin cleft, options include fat injections and grafts, muscle approximation and bone augmentation. Pictures would be needed to determine what may work best for you.
I would agree with Dr. Eppley regarding recommendations for injectable filler such as Juvederm or Voluma XC. Fat grafting to this area is also a reasonable option for treatment with very little to no downtime.
