The idiom is "fair and square". I think it is a degree higher than "quite fair" which implies that it isn't completely fair. I don't think "squarely" as an adverb is used very often, if at all.

I looked it up in my dictionary,and find it just as you said,it means :"arrange or deal with in a satisfactory way"(The New Oxford dictionary of English)
eg: Don't you worry,we'll get things squared away.
