2. If I just buy another flight in the future worth $900 for just me, I won't have change fees.

Is that right?
1 is correct.

Part 2, however, is not. There are still 3 tickets worth $300 each. You can only use them for three other tickets for yourself without paying fees. Make sure to use them for a ticket as close to $300 or more or else you'll lose the remaining value.
