Will the stock SMS control pad work ok with a 7800 console, both buttons mapping correctly?

[jferio]

No. But it is possible to build an adapter that would make them work.

What about the Sega Genesis 6 Buttton Arcade Stick? Same deal?

Nothing but the original, terrible, 7800 joysticks or the more obscure joypads will map correctly. Don't worry though, most of the community feels your pain. Seek out the wisdom of the man they call The.Golden.Ax. He shall save you from your suffering with fantastical mods of a most wonderful sort. He Converted a NES Advantage joystick to work on the 7800 for me, and lo, it was good.
