<<Problem number one it didn't seem to matter how many times I tessalated the rectangle there always seemed to be stray faces that didn't fit the contour.>> Create the rectangle with plenty of segments, rather than tesselating using either Cylinder with side of 4 and lots of segments or use the Lofter to create the rectangle with many vertices along the path. The more segment the nicer the bend. <<On the copy object, once bent, I couldn't seem to get a smooth surface on the selected faces that had been previously smoothed.>> In the Morph Options select Morph Smoothing so that the smoothing groups of the second morph are used otherwise you'll always be using the original smoothing groups of the first object which in this case makes a flat surface.
