You have to
book before March 28. When you stay is immaterial - the award at the old rate will be honored.

No. If you booked it, that rate at booking will be the rate honored. Even if (as some here have posted) you get an award over a year from now, it would still be honored at the rate
at the time of booking, since that was when the points were deducted from your account. I suppose that's similar to a contract.

Nothing. As above, the rate you booked at is the rate that will be honored. You will
not be charged the difference between the then-current redemption rate and the rate at which you booked.

Alas, we don't have definitive answers for that question, nor the issue of AXON and GLON awards, either. Best guess:
AXON will be modified, possibly eliminated
GLON (and other VIP awards) will be minimized or eliminated
Points & Cash will probably stay around. There is another thread on this at the moment.
As always, even though I am a native English speaker
