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.

You want to change the award, not SDC. SDC is for UA operated flights only.

Award change fees apply (assuming award inventory is available on your desired flights). $100 per ticket for changes within 21 days of travel.

Whether a partner will allow you to standby for another flight, with or without a fee, is entirely up to the partner.
