Jul 25, 2021 at 4:31 comment added Ryan Budney Then I think the answer is yes. Step (1) perturb the surface to be disjoint from the critical points of $h$. Step (2) Use that $h$ is a submersion in a neighbourhood of the surface. Specifically, $h$ restricted to the surface may not be Morse, but a small perturbation of it is. Using the local triviality of $h$ near the surface allows you to perturb the surface, using the flow of a vector field, to mimic the perturbation of a non-Morse function to a Morse function.

Jul 25, 2021 at 4:19 comment added Zhiqiang @RyanBudney I forgot to add that $h$ is a Morse function in $\mathbb R^3$.

Jul 25, 2021 at 3:54 comment added Ryan Budney No, of course not. For example, what if $h$ is constant?
