For the record, Kayak sent me to the UA page where I completed my booking.
I have two questions:
  1. on UA website when I go to “change flight”, it only gives me UA/AC options, and never UA direct flights. Why is that?
  2. 2 hours after I land in RSW, There’s an almost a completely empty AC flight, earlier than my original one. I have only a carry on. Within the AC airline policy, can I stand by and get on the early flight without paying any fare difference?
  3. After checkin, will I be able to do a SDC to a direct IAH-YYZ flight if there’s room?
The flight is this Sunday

Thank you in advance!

1. Probably because you don't have an HOU-YTO fare; you have an HOU-RSW fare plus a RSW-YTO fare. Check the fare rules, which should be available from within your itinerary. Are you in the same fare class on both segments? Are you spending more than 4 hours in Fort Myers?
2. That's a question for the AC forum.
3. Probably not, for the same reason as #1.
