Q1: It looks like I can only book about 3 months ahead of time for domestic flights. Is this correct? Are there any tricks to booking flights?
Correct. No tricks to book tickets.
But, If you see 3 Avios award seats on any other flight that day (only 3 flights a day) , I suggest you book them. Or, just wait till the booking opens in May and buy a cash ticket.

Yes. At check in, just present all three of yourselves and there will not be any issue.

Nope. 60 days out. It is a minor glitch with JAL, in that awards beyond the 60 day window are available to JAL partners but not to its own JAL JMB members.
