Japanese ships can bombard Henderson but I am really not sure if American ships can bombard Guadalcanal. Create a bombardment task force and after selecting the flagship a window should open with the allowed targets. If there are none then the US cannot bombard, which seems strange as they certainly did during the real campaign.
When launching a Transfer mission the target window should open. Note that the range for Transfer missions is greater than for combat missions. The B-17 force should be able to reach Guadalcanal with a bomb load but there was some aircraft range issues before the 1.1 version patch was released. Is your game patched up?
