2) In previous years, I understand that people have matched for the initial 90 days but qualified after the 1st April have seen their status be matched until the following year i.e. took challenge March 2017, completed trail in May 2017, status granted until March 2019. Is this correct and is it likely to happen again?

TIA
It shouldn't matter. Even if you apparently only receive status until March 2020 (by completing the challenge too early), a quick email to Hilton would get it extended to 2021.
