3. Same Day Change is permitted for $50 on award tickets. DL offers no free standby for non-elite/Silver.
SDC is officially not allowed on international itineraries so I wouldn't count on it. You may be able to make the case at the airport upon arrival in DTW. No guarantees though (and your best bet is to request the SDC in the SkyClub - or you can try before re-checking your bags after clearing customs).
