ICE train Frankfurt airport to Würzburg

We are flying out later today to Frankfurt and I was initially under the impression, based on information from Seat 61, that ICE trains could not sell out (although I understand seat reservations can). We were planning to buy our tickets to Würzburg when we got there so as to avoid committing to a specific train.

Upon checking the DB app for upcoming trains today (just to see the prices) I noticed that many trains say "Train fully booked" and I cannot seem to book a ticket through the app. Am I missing something? Should I book tomorrow's ticket now while there are still trains available?

All trains in Bavaria are messed up today, and will be for a few days. This is due to a major storm and damage on a number of lines in the south. If you need a ticket, I'd book it. And expect delays even then.

How do the FlexPreis tickets work? I notice many trains are now "1st class only". Can I buy a 2nd class FlexPreis ticket for a later train and just take whichever one we want?
