As for the background being stretched inward, you can create a layer below it, or fill in that same layer, with the same color.

You could try using puppet warp or vectors w/ stroke.

Why not use the pen tool. It's easier and less fustrating that any other method.

Eeeeh, just use the pen tool. I suppose you are using Illustrator, just remember to remove or drag the anchor point to the path you created. That way you can go on with your project easily.
