1 - is there any good chance i'll make the connection? With only Silver status and not many E+ seats left, I'm stuck back in row 29 on the SEA-SFO so I figure that'll add even more time to de-board.

2 - Any chance of making a fee-free change to later SEA-SFO with a later SFO-SBP connection?

32 minutes is below the MCT at SFO. Was your connection 32 minutes when you booked it? Has there been any schedule change since you booked it? You could plead the case with UA that it's less than the minimum connection time and see if they'll move you to the later flights.
