My car makes the God awfulest racket coming from what I think is the serpentine belt tensioner. It is best described as a rattle when it is the loudest is when the car starts. The other day when my battery died I jumped it and when it started a "rust cloud" came from the belt. So my question is do I seem to be right and on a scale of 1-10, 10 most difficult how hard is this repair.

4.0l's are notorious for valve rattle on cold start-up. There is really nothing you can do to make it go away short of completely replacing the valve train in the top end, and that isn't a permanent fix. It's is an top end oiling issue from the factory. Just don't race your engine on cold start-up until the rattle stops.
The rattle in the transmission sounds to me to be more of a loose dust shield/heat shield around the transmission or exhaust than a mechanical issue.
