After working for 2 days trying to find the solution I finally found it. Due to my lack of experience it was a really simple fix.
By simply adding a javascript file with the below code, the information on task 2, task 3 and so on are now captured and are presented in the tasks that follow.
<javascript>
function doReviewTaskComplete () {
execution.setVariable('retest_reviewComment', task.getVariable('retest_reviewComment'));
}
</javascript>
I didn't know you had to add javascript at the end of each task in order to capture the new data. But at least I figured it out.

I had some support from another user who uses Alfresco. Below is the javascript I used in order to assign a user to the task by a selection the user selected in the task before it.
<javascript>
function doReviewTaskStart () {
   task.setAssignee('assignee name')
   if ('workflow prefix_property name' == 'value from property');
}
</javascript>
Below is an example with actual values in it.
<javascript>
function doExecutiveTaskStart () {
   task.setAssignee('John')
   if ('research_animal' == 'Giant Panda');
}
</javascript>
