On an approx. two-hour sector like this there will be drinks and hopefully wifi. I can't say about food, snack basket pass, etc.

If the same fare inventory is not available, the passenger may be booked into the lowest available fare inventory for the same cabin. (See pages 7 and 8 of the PDF.) I assume that "within 24 hours" means up to 24 hours before or after the originally-scheduled departure time.
Hope that this helps.

With Apologies For Having Been Out of Town and Unable to Respond to OP . . . . . . .

The person quoted above is correct about the probable equipment. Looks like Envoy flies E175's on the route.
But I disagree about being able to perceive the difference. The E175 is generally a better ride; at least for a short ride. The are smoother and don't porpoise like 737's, or feel super-claustrophobic like the sardine-can A319's (which is the only aircraft in the fleet I actively try and schedule around). Now an even smaller RJ is a different matter.

It's not valid anymore that in case of cancellation one can be rebooked at no cost?

Yes, it's valid. However, it's not a free for all to make a no cost change to any day or destination one wants.
Once certain parameters are exceeded (discussed further up extensively), a passenger is entitled to greater flexibility for reaccommodation to other airports, AA partners, other airlines, etc, or a refund.

Had a FANTASTIC flight from JKF-SXM on a 319 in January, firmly planted in 2C aside from a couple of pee breaks.
