Is there a way to tighten up the mirror to the mounting pedestal on these things?

if you remove the mirror the are two screws in side the housing that should tighten up.

For a 69 passenger side outside mirror, non remote.  Just the plain round one on the single pedestal base.

So I'm looking at glass replacement, correct?  Because the mirror is glued into the housing is it not?

mopar_madman

is the mirror loose or is it the whole housing that moves on the ball end?

No, not the glass.  As you describe, the housing is freewheeling around the ball.

you may have to remove the glass somehow, I was looking at the mirrors on my 68 RR and they have a screw on the back for adjustment. I would have to see it.
