Yes, if it should be tied, then you should of course use a tie.
To get rid of the slur, the simple solution is to use \grace instead
of \appoggiatura, since the only difference is the slur.

If you want an acciacatura instead of an appogiatura (i.e. a slash
through the flag), you can get it using
\grace {\once \override Stem  #'stroke-style = #"grace" fis'16~ }
   <b, fis' b>8.
