Hello,
I'm looking for a recommendation on how to create the blend that goes between these sections? The general blend and swept blend features haven't been working for me as I'd expected. Section two is a chain of 4 sketches that use the prismatic feature facades as references to construct each of the four arcs. Section 1 and 3 are a circle and planar square, respectively. What would you recommend for this type of operation?

The key to swept blends is to make sure there is a consistent # of entities in each sketch so you can match the blend points in the sections. To go from a rectangle to a circle section you must divide the circle into 4 arc segments and map the vertices in the blend feature.
Having said that I don't think blends are the best tool to get what you want if I interpret your pictures correctly. You would be better of building 4 sided boundary blends to fill in that geometry.
See enclosed pic for one way to do it.

Depends on what you want to achieve, a simple revolve cut may give you what you want:
