You shouldn't have H.264 sequence settings. FCP doesn't edit H.264 well. Not designed to. YOu need to convert all that footage to ProRes first.
And yes, the file sizes will increase by 3-4 times. But that's what you need to do to edit with FCP. If you want to edit H.264 native, you need to use Adobe Premiere.

Because you have anamorphic checked on your sequence settings. If you have described you source material correctly, you need to un-check anamorphic in your sequence settings. Once you do that, then contol-click on any clips you have on the timeline, and from the drop down menu choose Revmove Attributes. When the Remove Attributes pane opens, check Basic Motion and Distort ( if they are not grayed out) and click OK.
And as Mr. Ross has said, you do not want to be working in H,264 in FCP7. If you need to deliver in H,264, then edit In ProRes and when done, export a Quicktime and convert it in Compressor to H.264.
