Those are some very appropriate questions, and I've also been 
wondering about how Hermione actually found and captured Rita Skeeter 
in her animagus form. As to that, I have no real suggestions.

In reference to your second question, my thought is that simply using 
Accio really isn't a measure of one's magical ability. After all, 
presumably any witch or wizard of that age could perform it. There 
were probably of rules of the tournament that inhibited the use of 
such simple spells, and thereby forced the participants to use 
advanced magical skill to overcome obstacles.
