And yes, you can only book SQ flights on the website. For everything else you'll need to phone in.

I was wondering if SQ had a status match program? (Am Star Gold with TK)

I agree. I have never seen SQ status match.

Seems that M (21-day economy class with 100% accrual - flexi saver) class is now "$20 for rebooking" class. Everything is now charged....

Considering that SQ isn't just an airline but an important pillar holding up Singapore's economy (tourism/trade/business), I can definitely see them become more aggressive towards EK in the future and maybe do a targeted status-match offer one day...
But for now status-match is simply not something that they deal with.

How hard is it to get row 11 in business class on SQ's 777-300 ER? (Eyeing BCN-SIN)

Not a problem usually, it's not blocked and status doesn't make a difference. It's all on a first-come, first-served basis so the seat is free until someone books or redeems a flight and chooses that seat.
You should check ExpertFlyer.com as they can show you the seatmap of the biz cabin on any given date/flight. If they're showing 11A as vacant and SQ has saver awards on that flight - book it.
P.S. When my parents fly together I always get them 11A and 12A so that they can have the whole left side to themselves (and both enjoy window seats). I didn't even work my dates to make sure those seats would be free - I just booked saver awards on the dates I wanted and those seats happened to be free. So overall, it's not that difficult to get them if you're booking ahead.

11A is most definitely windowless

Does anyone know how many * miles? Does Singapore Airline impose fuel surcharge on award tickets for international United flight originated in US? I know it doesn't for US domestic. For example, if I want to book an award ticket using KrisFlyer miles for a United flight from SFO to SIN or to HKG, do I have to pay fuel surcharge?
