I do not understand your reasoning about "family issues" subverting your plans to fly out PEK-ICN the next morning. You would just take this flight to remove yourself from China, completing your legal TWOV and then sort out your return/move up your ICN-ORD flight once you get to Korea. I doubt if this is would delay your return by more than a half-day to the USA. If you have to pay for a flight back because there is no award space, so be it.
If your family issues are that potentially serious, cancel the trip before setting out.
I will know upon arriving in PEK at 8:30pm if I need to immediately have to return to the US. At that point time is going to be crucial and I would not want to have to fly to ICN and then pick up a flight to the US. If that happens is this possible?
Stay in transit overnight at the airport and not clear immigration.
Purchase and pay for a return ticket to the US online.
The next morning while still in transit obtain a boarding pass for the return flight to the US. Is there an international transfer desk in the transit area where boarding passes can be issued?
If the above is doable, is there any hotel or sleeping accommodations in the transit or will I be sleeping in a chair?
