    This is an easy one, as I also live in MN.
    The most common cool-season grasses in MN are Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass.

    Any uncoated or organic grass seed will be safe. The same will be for a fertilizer. We do not usually recommend any products or places to buy them, but I would check online, or with your local extension services. This link will help you to find the closest one to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search/

    There are pre and post emergent herbicides that target Creeping Bentweed. Look for this specific weed on the label.
    This is a selective product that will control the bentgrass without harming your desired grasses. The best time to start this process is in mid-July, and it requires three applications, spaced two weeks apart, to achieve complete control. Once the herbicide is applied to the lawn, the bentgrass will turn bright white and be very noticeable, so be prepared that this will happen. Once the bentgrass is controlled, you can reseed the lawn.

    I thought I would let the So Cal extension service answer your question. There are 2 articles. The mowing question is difficult to answer because it depends on how much sun and moisture the grass receives.
