For the 332 business class seats, is there a foot rest that comes up even when the seat is a upright or only when you open up the bed fully? I’m fairly short and wondering if my feet will reach the footwell when I’m just sitting in the chair.

No foot rest that can come up when the seat is upright.

Just flew BLR-CDG this past weekend in Y. After the flight down the week before was on the old A330 config, the new retrofit is a significant upgrade. That being said, I agree, the pitch is too tight and when the person in front of me reclined I was basically stuck. 31" is obnoxious, and I'm only 5'11". The bulkheads did look quite spacious leg-room-wise, and would be a great choice if available.

F-GZCO has been ferried from BOD to CDG yesterday evening. So it should be back in service very soon 
And, at the time I am typing this post, F-GZCG is in flight CDG-BOD to be retrofitted.

Can someone confirm if the W seats are the improved ones that are found on the 789? Any real "improvements"?

Plane number
Is there any way to know the exact plane I will be flying on until we actually load up at the airport? I’m just wondering if the plane I’ll be taking has been retrofitted. When I made reservations in April I chose a seat from the new cabin Design but I know that doesn’t really mean a lot. I will be flying the second week of September. ORD - CDG. I appreciate any information you can give me.

Well, you know the usual disclaimer : "Last-minute aircraft swaps can happen at any moment" 
But if you really want to feel better, like the others said, you can look up the flight registration number on sites like flightradar.
I always assume something will go wrong and the aircraft will get changed out on me.......
. Then again; the glass is always half empty for me, c'est la vie.
