You should find the ESTA back to the active state with its original expiry once it has been dealt with.
Thanks tjcxx, all went smoothly (albeit a longer check-in experience then usual) and the secondary at MIA was pretty quick. You mention travelling by yourself to the U.S. - apart from the marriage cert, what else is usually required to enable you to travel and do you get asked the purpose of your trip often? (I could say I am visiting family / but with this opportunity now open to me, could I do some TP runs if I wanted?)
