Meld cards copying other meld cards

IRC gets weird sometimes.

1) I own and control the meld pair of Hanweir Garrison and Hanweir Battlements. They became copies of Midnight Scavengers and Graf Rats respectively. When the Graf Rats trigger resolves, what happens to the 2 cards? Are they left exiled because they won't specifically meld into Chittering Host, or will it come back as Hanweir, the Writhing Township?

2) I own and control 2 Chittering Host. One is copying Midnight Scavengers, the other Graf Rats. How many Chittering Host ETB when the Rats trigger resolves?

1. When the trigger resolves, they're exiled, and go back to being the Garrison and Battlements. In exile, the game sees the two exiled cards make a melded pair, and they'll return to the battlefield fused as the Writhing Township.

2. You exile all four cards. You then choose one Rats and one Scavengers to return, and they'll return fused as the Host. The other two cards remain in exile.
