Well, I think your problem is to connect a via to a rectangle, am I right? I 
do it in another way (I dont knew about using s can connect a via to a 
rectangle, lifing and learning :D ): I draw the rectangle, put the via over 
it, draw a little line, increase it size with s until it gets bigger that the 
via, place over it and press j over the line. So you dont need to move 
nothing from one layer to another.
But, if you draw a rectangle in the solder layer, place a via, draw another 
rectangle (smaller) over the via (it will become invisible, off course) and 
press s over the area of the smaller rectangle, you will connect the via too.
