Looking at flights tomorrow the flights at higher pricing show show wanna get away and wanna get away+ unavaialble with Anytime and Business Select 2 left. Cheaper flights show 2 left for wanna get away and wanna get away+ fares and no specific number for Anytime and Business Select.
Yes, you can list yourself for standby after midnight in the time zone of the departure airport. The app or website will show you how many seats are open, which is a very nice feature. You will need to check with a CSA at the gate to get cleared from the list, in my experience.
