2. Does anyone have experience in other countries with monuments that are
on the list but are still under copyright? Will we need to be clear that
some of the sites on the Register in the U.S. are not eligible for the
contest?
I guess this is a very small percentage.
In France there's noFOP and we've got some protected buildings that are
still under copyright (as far as I know we don't know the exact number), we
have started to use a special picture for them in the lists on wikipedia :
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:B%C3%A2timent_droit_d%27auteur.svg
saying that the building is copyrighted.
We also communicated about this topic with a blog post during the last
competition :
http://blog.wikimedia.fr/wiki-loves-monuments-et-le-droit-dauteur-3649 (in
french, sorry). Our main problem was that the records describing buildings
aren't always accurate and/or the architects aren't famous so for many 20th
century buildings we don't really know if they are free or not.

We are facing the same issue in Belarus. The estimate is 30%+....
monuments in cities.
