Issues when hooking GUI to code

Hello, I've run into two problems while making a GUI which I can't figure out despite wrestling with the Unity API and looking through questions:

The first problem is that I'm trying to dynamically add buttons with a name and a text content from two lists of strings in another C# namespace (let's call them RT.ObjectNameList and RT.TextContentList), but despite looking at https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/user-interface-ui/adding-buttons-script?playlist=17111 I haven't got this working. I have found a way to make the viewport content object size with the content though. The buttons I'm using here are text fields with a button component.

My second problem boils down to me not knowing how to get scripts working from a UnityEvent (button On Click, input field On Value Changed, etc): where to add the script components, what to listen for, and how to do the syntax correctly. Specifically, I'm trying to filter the TextContentList based on the input field, and get the scroll view buttons to copy their text content to <selected target> and RT.SelectedTarget when pressed. The filter code won't be a problem, I'm just struggling with the unity way of doing things. I'm using the 2017.1.3p1 version if that helps.

TL;DR:
