It's not hard to see which planes fly which routes.

It's also not guaranteed which plane will fly which route. Every airline has "substitution" rules in their conditions of carriage, and frequently use them.
Depends on airline. Southwest, for example, has Boeing-only fleet. JetBlue has only Airbuses and Embraers.

The odds of buying a JetBlue ticket and ending up on a Boeing are fairly low compared to flying Southwest.

Boeing just bought Embraer, but I assume that it will take some time until they the quality of products start to fall
Plus, flights get cancelled, and passengers get re-routed last minute.
I can't recall any plane crashes that also involved a plane switch. So getting bumped to a different plane type and crashing is incalculably rare.
A lot of routes have only one airline though.
