Name Change due to Marriage

My wife went to the DMV this weekend to make the final change of her last name on all documents (passport, social security were already changed- besides credit cards) after we got married. I have a few questions around this:

 

1) I had a prebooked ticket on our companion pass (she is my companion) with her maiden name. I called SW customer support and they said I need to cancel and rebook. The flight is now sold out. She has an Ohio license that isn't expired, but the DMV punched a hole through with her maiden name and a paper IL license with her new last name. Will TSA accept a license with a hole punched through it? If not, what's my best option?

 

2) When I change her name on her companion pass does this count as a change since my companion isn't changing? I was planning on changing her name after the situation above (the flight is this weekend) and have no other outstadnign flights.
