So even if the outbound has already been flown, and the fare rules on the return leg allow for cancellation/changes without fee, any change fees associated with the outbound fare rules would still have to be paid in order to change the return leg? (I do understand that the overall itinerary would be re-priced)

That's likely not correct. Usually you can change return after flying outbound without having to reprice the ticket. So, for example, changing your return date after you've flown the outbound will typically require only a change fee if your fare bucket is available.

Yes. The most restrictive rules apply to the entire ticket.

Yes that's a different way of saying the same thing. Once you've flown the outbound, if you make a change the ticket will usually "reprice" based on original ticketing date and fares then in effect, which usually means there's no fare differential if your fare bucket is available and you're complying with the fare rules.

I just saw an icon to view the fare rules (post purchase) on an itinerary on the manage trips page.
They are all in block letters but divided in a more manageable way to read them more easily than previously.
