You will need to convert your PAL stuff to NTSC. You will need something like along these lines:

There's a bunch out there - perhaps someone else on the forum can recommend some good ones. I don't use standards conversion much myself, but I have been happy with the stuff I have purchased from Nattress in the past.

As for your 16x9 footage... The stretch is actually the "correct" way of getting 16x9 to tape. The anamorphic stretch is corrected upon playback to the correct aspect ratio. If you want to letterbox your image when putting it down to tape, you can make a new sequence which is 4x3, and then drop your 16x9 cut into that sequence - FCP will automatically arc the cut and letterbox it. Put that down to tape.
