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 16×9 footage… The stretch is actually the “correct” way of getting 16×9 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 4×3, and then drop your 16×9 cut into that sequence – FCP will automatically arc the cut and letterbox it. Put that down to tape.
