Can't see much detail on the orchid

No way you can ID the bent from that photo-they are tricky at the best of times. Tom Cope who wrote the most recent grass bible says they are tricky.

I'd never heard of Water Smartweed, but seems like it's a synonym for Amphibious Bistort, which is the name I know it by & used in most (all?) UK field guides. Agree it is this in its terrestrial form.

4 looks right.
