No Mow grass overseeding

A couple years back we tried to overseed our back yard (midnight KBG) with NO MOW grass (creeping bent grass growing to 2-6 " max w/o flowering).
Now - Couple years later - we don't see that NO MOW grass took over the lawn. Possibly we did mow it too much (KBG grows faster and produces seed heads in spring), or it was too hot in the last 2 summers. (In Central NJ). We don't irrigate.
Also we found some other undesirable characteristics of the NO MOW grass
- it has tendency to mat
- false crowning (because we needed to mow it at 2-3 " to control flowering KBG)
- low heat tolerance
Right now we have probably 60 percent KBG and 40 percent NO MOW.
There are a couple patches of nimbleweed developing that need to be killed (3 areas about 1 sq ft each)

We want to overseed with Midnight KBG using Tenacity at seeding.

Can we get away with just overseeding w/o doing complete renovation?
Can we use Scotts starter fertilizer with Tenacity in it instead of Tenacity?
Would be it enough to use Tenacity to control Nimbleweed?

Thank you
Any other recommendations are welcome.
