Which, in effect, means they're only cancelable.

Often the outgoing isn't changeable but the return is. Most fare rules use the historical fares at time of booking to calculate difference in fare once travel has commenced.

Can you explain with an example?
If the historical fare was $1500, but the current fare after travel has commenced is $7500, would I need to pay $6000 to make a change in date/time? What kind of a deal is that?

I saw a booking made by a TA - PNR was noted "WRONG FARE FILING" - I guess they are preparing to cancel it - but they dont have contact info

Complicated to do in practice, but you could theoretically change dates on the return for no difference in fare.

Does anyone know whether DoT mandates airlines to reimburse total cost of non refundable expenses, or only cancellation fees? What about if you can refund in the form of future credit with the company (travel bank)? Do they count that as a refund or not?

if I have to pay $75 and then the rest goes to a travel bank then they only pay $75?

I'd argue you're not whole in that case.

Thanks. If I get to that point, I’ll ask you how to proceed!
