I knew a couple from high school that eventually got married and they both had the last name Goldsworthy. If two people with a last name like that can find each other, its definitely not out of the realm of possibility that two people with the most common last name in the US could find each other haha.

I agree with the premise of them both having Smith as a surname is plausible but improbable. My only question is what would they prefer Will's aunts surname to be and does it affect the story lines? I don't believe it does. Isn't it called artistic licence or something similar?

Ok, I don't really see why it matters, but here goes:
Number one: this is television. They are not a real family.
Number two: it is not that unusual for someone to marry someone who has the same last name and be unrelated. For example, two of my sisters married men whose last name is Campbell, but their husbands are not related. As a matter of fact they didn't even know each other before they started dating my sisters.
Number three: this is television. It is really not that serious. -

It's something that can be brushed off as a continuity error, I suppose. A lot of long time series had them back then. But at least in this case it's possible to marry or be with someone that has the same last name. The recent episode of Black-ish was about this
