Not sure if this is the standard though. Secondly, I’ve not seen the “pending payment” thing - but have noticed that once check-in is open for the first flight there appear to be two different routes to the seat map. The outbound is through the check-in flow, whereas the inbound is as normal from the reservation page (referring to the iOS app). I’ve certainly never had an issue getting to the seat map for the inbound after taking the outbound, so maybe tapping around will bypass your issues - hope that helps.
The additional seats become available somewhere in the night before T-72, that's indeed the standard. The pending payment you will see at check-in, there will be no option to change the seat or to buy an upgrade.
Just arrived from outbound, see screenshot for inbound, no possibility to click on seat assignment to open seat map. Screen on the Andriod app is similar, no option to click on the seat. So maybe only iOS version allows to change seats?
