Linda, I believe that the Tempo Indications category of Staff Expressions is set to only attach to the beginning of measures. Change the category settings, or create a miscellaneous Staff Expression with the Playback set to your tempo change, and that should allow you to attach it where you want.
Can't help you with the MIDI map question, but an effective workaround for creating ritards is to use the Tempo Tap tool, available in Studio View.
