3. I suspect the only real damage done here is on that issue of "marketed to US consumers". A number of mistake fares do not involve website manipulation and presumably the post purchase price increase rule remains in full force and effect with respect to those. But if the DOT won't enforce its rules wrt fares marketed to non-US purchasers, that's a big problem.
