If the information is correct as well as my math, then assuming a defender's defense skill of 350, the attacker (using a single weapon) would need an attack rating of 700 to never miss: 350 + (5/0.02). How do hit rating and/or expertise or anything else affect attack rating?

You are confusing weapon skill with hit rating. Both affect your chance to hit. In this case, it's Defense skill 350 vs. the attacker's weapon skill, usually also 350. Since the skills are equal, the chance to miss is still 5%, which is counteracted by hit rating, since there are no longer ways to raise weaponskill.
