Last year my wife had a companion pass for me to travel with her, and each time we traveled, if I tried to board before her, they would stop me and ask to have my wife Check-In first. So if your wife is holding the companion pass then I doubt if she could board without you, based on my experiences.
Yeah, that would definitely fix it. I don't think I've ever worried about which one of us boarded first... Never gotten that warning
I guess given the late date, I can wait until the last minute and cancel my ticket and pay for hers with points. It's more expensive than booking a one way later on, but might save money in other ways... And obviously time.
