I know you WILL get paid for overlapping dh’s when you bid (straight or premium) and are awarded both halves. I’m not sure what happens when you extra fly one half and pick up from ttga the other. I would NOT rely on contract admin for the answer. Your best bet is to call SWA scheduling and ask them. If they say yes you get paid for both, it’s on tape and you’ll get error pay if the audit comes out not in your favor.
Yes, the getting paid for the deadhead scenario only works when flown from open time. The contract specifically says you won't get paid if you extra fly it from a reserve. I would suspect that in any audit, you will get the EF deadhead unpaid. Maybe not, though.
