SDC on partner awards?

If I book this flight, and then wake up really early the day of my flight, would I stand a good chance at doing a SDC to an earlier flight? Hopefully at no additional cost? I am United Gold.
1. I am NOT a United gold and wonder what the fees are for on SDC for an award ticket. More precisely, can I do a same day standby if inventory exists in the same class of service, without a fee?
2. Can standby be done on PARTNER awards?
3. Finally (getting greedy!) if 2 is true, can you do an standby from one partner to another? I have an award ticket OGG-HNL-LIH (on Island Air) that if possible I would like to change to Hawaiian's nonstop OGG-LIH service.
