Short answer, no.
Longer answer, no, probably not as bluescreen. It’s not an awful shot as it is, but it wouldn’t even have occurred to me that someone was trying to do chroma key with that setup. It’s artsy and all, but it doesn’t look close to being keyable.

Impossible to diagnose “looks like crap” without some more information.
What version of vegas?
What format is your source video?
What are your rendering settings?—

The way the picture is breaking up there — I wouldn’t know how to do that if I *wanted* to. I can’t imagine what’s going on there. Do you have any effect on it at all, or is it a simple crossfade that’s going crazy?

If you’re rending 1080p to 1080p to the same framerate as the source, there will be (or should be) no interlacing or blending at any step of the process. There’s nothing to deinterlace — it’s a progressive frame being spit out as another progressive frame. If someone’s telling you it’s important to set a certain deinterlace method in that case, I’d ask them to explain why….odds are they’ll tell you “because I’ve always done it that way” or “I read somewhere that you should.”
Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of straight-up bad rendering and project settings advice on YouTube, some forums, and some web sites. Much of it appears to be based on someone somewhere making a good video, possibly by accident, and sharing their settings…with others copying that effort and offering their own trial-and-error improvements.
Keep it simple: Know when to match your media settings, know the right format for your destination, and seek to do the minimum damage to your picture quality along the way.

NO. It doesn’t matter whether you use Architect or not. If you’re burning a DVD (and by that, I assume you mean a DVD that plays in DVD players according to DVD standards, and not just any old file on a DVD-R), the standard is the same: an mpeg2 file with specific resolutions and bitrates, with specific kind of audio. The resolutions you’ve mentioned are NOT DVD resolutions.
So, whichever DVD-authoring/burning program we’re talking about, you’ll be using the DVD template. Rendering something with a higher resolution is NOT DVD-compliant and WILL be resized and re-encoded by a DVD authoring/burning program, which WILL be a headache you don’t want.
If you’re rendering a video file to be played on a computer and output on a projector, sure, go ahead and render to the projector’s native resolution. If your computer is capable enough to play mp4, you might as well use the Sony AVC template and adjust as necessary.

If you’re burning to DVD, render to DVD files at DVD resolution. HDV 720 is not a DVD resolution. Neither is 1024×768. Use the DVD Architect presets if you’re burning to DVD.
If you’ll be playing it back on a computer, sure, you could render to the projector’s resolution. It won’t make the background video look any better, but might give you some improvement on the new text you’re adding.

I use the H4n and have not seen that behaviour myself.
Is this weird audio recorded with the internal mics? The answer wouldn’t make the problem any less weird to me, but it might be more info for someone else.

I’d recommend a step 5: Uninstall K-Lite Codec Pack.

The shortest answer I can think of is: “Because it’s YouTube.”
YouTube is a lot of good things: quick, easy, ubiquitous. But it’s not known for being kind when re-encoding uploads for delivery. We also have to factor in whatever the YouTube player is doing to levels and colors on playback.
In short: Do your best and feed YouTube the best file you can, knowing that you have no control over how much the site will chew up your file once it’s received.

Are you seeing this slowdown in the preview window or on final render.
If in preview, I’m not surprised — rendering video on the fly and mixing it with other video like that can be taxing on the machine.
But if the final render still comes out looking wrong on the fades, I’m more stumped.
