I'm working with this exact same UI problem right now. My thought is to
have the sheet morph into the new sheet by changing the sheet's view (a
la system prefs) although I'm still having trouble doing it without
confusing myself too much with messy code.

It's not OK. Read the guidelines for sheets here:
/Developer/Documentation/Essentials/AquaHIGuidelines/
AquaHIGuidelines.pdf
A couple of quick suggestions on how to solve your problem:
1) Use a modal panel as the second panel, and not a sheet.
+ Pro: In accordance with guidelines
- Con: Is app modal, but should be doc modal.
2) Close the first sheet before opening the second sheet.
+ Pro: In accordance with guidelines
- Con: Opening and closing sheets takes time.
- Con: Closing first sheet before all data is entered is not good UI.
2/ From an implementation point of view, is it possible without any
glitch ?
No, because the frameworks are trying to discourage you from doing
this - and might actually prevent you in any future system release
even if you manage to succeed right now.
