In the first part of the sentence, 因为他聪明有办法, since there are 2 things to describe him (clever and resourceful), would 又x又y be appropriate? Or is it because 有办法 is moreso a verb phrase of 'having ways'?

Yeah, if you're going to use "又...又..." or "既有...也有..." then it (generally) should follow the structure "又 + adj. 又 + adj.," or "既有 + verb phrase + 也有 + verb phrase," but since this combination is an adjective (聪明) and a verb phrase (有办法) neither are used.
