Visible crease when creating surface from sweep, no crease when swept from Rhino

That's just a matter of luck... To not have creasing you really need to use options specifically related to continuity, not really just random geometric side effects from a denser or lighter surface fitting that happens from a tolerance adjustment.

No, the tolerance is not adjustable in MoI.

But even if it was, it's not really the thing you would need for this case, you need some option to modify the generated surface to have continuity to the other existing surfaces, that is not something that is directly controlled by a fitting tolerance.

I do want to add continuity options in to MoI in the future, but for now you would need to use Rhino for trying to make this kind of curvature continuous patchwork skin.

But even then this type of "patch-by-patch" approach can be frustrating to do with NURBS, it is probably better to do with a sub-d modeling approach rather than with NURBS.
