Regarding seats. I have regular economy (Not premium economy). However, I do have good seat assignments that I'm happy with. Not sure what you mean by, "The may make it available online (as E-) but push you back if these seats aren't needed (i.e., they can squash all those who paid for E- in the E- seats)"
I believe what the poster is saying is that during online check-in, Icelandair may allow you to select a seat in their E+ section, but unless you have actually paid for an E+ seat, they may move you right back out of it.
