1. If I miss the flight on which I am currently booked, SK 907, the remaining flights to EWR all have overnight stopovers at locations such as at ARN or CPH? Am I obliged to accept those flights if SAS offers them to me, or may I ask to remain overnight at OSL and to be rebooked on the same flight, departing on the following day?
You can ask to be rebooked to an alternative with overnight implications or get rebooked onto the next day.
2. Am I obliged to accept a flight to JFK if offered to me or may I insist on a flight to EWR?
No, but it could be that you get to your destination faster so I would not rule it out.
3. If my checked suitcase makes the connection, but I do not, what steps do I take to make sure my suitcase is not sitting for 24 hours on a baggage carousel at EWR?
They won't let your suitcase depart without you. The opposite however is possible and your suitcase will eventually make it to you.
4. If I depart on the following day, will I need to find and take a new Covid test since my previous test will have been more than one day prior to my departure?
No there is a special rule about cancellations, just bring your original itinerary and COVID test (or proof of recovery).
