It's likely a temporary issue. You can try a different device/browser to see if you can duplicate the issue. The price w/grats included has been reported by others in a different thread.
It seems RCI is trying to confuse things by not making it obvious that they likely mean an E and D category GTY instead of the generic XB GTY. I would still be weary of picking any non-category specific GTY if you really want to stay away from E cabins. Not sure that even an RCI CSR call will eliminate that possibility.
Unless it's a specific category GTY (like 4D) don't pay anything extra for any other balcony GTY. That may even be an IT glitch as Q class don't usually have more than one general balcony GTY.

That may depend on the cabin but it's probably pullmans for guest 3 and 4. Look on a site like cruidedeckplans on any Radiance class ship for your or similar cabin for layout.

The vast majority of RCI's profit comes from on board sales (hence to the ton of marketing emails) - you don't need any of them to have a wonderful cruise - you have already contributed to RCI's profit with your suite.
If you have set dining, the app, set to the current sailing, should list that. On Liberty, some reported getting 5:30PM for early seating which later changed to 5:00PM. Assume 5:00PM with no other changes for the rest of her time in NJ.
