If I chose Delta as my airline choice last year, can I use the 2018 travel credit on delta and the change to JetBlue in January and then use JetBlue to the get the 50% bonus miles rebate?
Yes.

Bought Delta GC on Dec. 19 (a few minutes after selecting Delta airline). Still no credit. Any reason to be nervous?

Yes, it was bought on the mobile site  :( Any recourse? I assume calling/chatting Amex is a bad idea.

Purchase was processed by cash star, not delta. Credit will not post automatically.

I lost track and forgot to use my $200 airline credit for 2017. Any chance a rep would grant me more than $200 in 2018?

No

I should think you can find a supervisor within a few HUCAs who would be willing to manually adjust.

It has to post in 2017

Probably better off just selling them at as high a price as you can, and eating the ~15% loss.

I called, no luck. Called a second time and the supervisor gave me a $200 credit on my statement. I guess luck was in the air
