Also, the footnote superscript numbers in the body of the text are not linked to the footnote itself.

Is there an automated way to get the footnotes "properly constructed" (not actually sure what that means)?

"Proper" footnotes are those that are linked to a text anchor (eg, *, a superscript).
You probably just have formatted text; no real link.

No fully auto way to fix that. In Word, you can search for the smaller font size, then ctrl-X the footnote text, and go to the reference mark, insert footnote, paste the text.

Once you've restructured the doc, you can export to epub and hopefully get working footnotes.
