One: Helen is a smart and beautiful girl.
Two: Helen is a smart, beautiful girl.
I think number two sounds better, but my knowledge tells me that number one is the correct one.

Both are correct, but if you want to get really technical, it depends on the context in which you are going to use this sentence.
#1 would be used more to emphasise that she is smart as well as beautiful e.g if someone had said to you "I think Helen is smart but not particularly beautiful" you would reply "well I think Helen is both smart AND beautiful".
#2 would be used more if you were just giving your opinion without any kind of contraindication. "I think Helen is a smart, beautiful girl".

Both are correct. #1 separates the adj and places more emphasis on Helen's character.

I like number two better, but both are grammatically correct.

You're right, number 2 sounds better, but they are both right.
