Questions:
1. If I call now, will they move us to a different flight at the saver level even if only standard level awards are available? Or should I wait until I see saver level open up, maybe in a month or two, and then call with specific flights? ...
call now! UA can open up space on its on flights but TPE presents a problem since there is no UA service to TPE. With this delay, people people are affected and UA should be developing a general recovery process. You will need to call to find out and call before others take the better options.

generally speaking UA can not open up another airlines inventory. But given the number of people effected, UA may have a recovery plan of this situation. You will need to call.
