Looks like the sessions began a couple of weeks ago and will continue through August and September, with a couple of weeks break because of JW’s commitments at Tanglewood.
 
Don talks about 135 minutes of music (gasp!)

The only thing missing is The Devil’s Dance from Witches of Eastwick, which was performed during the concert last month (but perhaps it wasn’t recorded). Aside from that, it seems to contain everything that was mentioned in the various Facebook posts by Mutter over the last few months.

I guess film composers, more often than not, have to grapple on anything that could work as source of inspiration, even if that bring them a bit far from the actual thing (much like Leia’s theme seems to score more Luke’s idealistic vision of the female character than the character herself). But that’s the fascinating aspect of film music—there’s always more than one solution to the problem.

No, it's just a cue from the film score.  It's 9M2, though we don't know the original cue title (because the sheet music leak was a weird one where it basically had every cue from the film EXCEPT the ones that were on the OST).  But I think "Keeping Up With The Joneses" is a very funny and fitting name for an OST album track. 
 
It scored an early cut of the biplane sequence (air part and land part), and Spielberg must have not liked the way the whole thing came out because the scene was re-edited, the first half of Williams' cue was dropped, and the second part was replaced by a re-write, and then THAT rewrite had its very ending replacing again by another new ending.
 
 
No, that is 3M3/4M1 The Elephant Ride, which can be heard in its entirety in the film.  Again Williams just chose a more interesting name for OST album purposes.

Yes, but even then only "The Call Of The Crystal" and "The Adventures Of Mutt" are proper concert arrangements;  The track called "Irina's Theme" is simply an assembly of some bits from various film cues.  And of course "The Raiders March" is the end credits cue from the first film.
 
 
 
That's because again Williams chose a unique NAME for an OST track to be more fitting for an OST track.  The OST track called "Marion's Theme" is actually 10M4 En Bateau followed by 4M2 To Cairo.  Williams didn't actually write a proper concert arrangement of Marion's Theme until 2008, and then it wasn't recorded at the IJ4 sessions, sadly, but premiered live in concert.  For years we could only listen to it via recordings of live concert appearances until it finally premiered as a studio recording on Spielberg/Williams III in 2017.
 
Incidentally, he also wrote a proper concert arrangement of Irina's Theme that premiered in concert in 2008 as well, but that still hasn't received a proper studio recording.  It's awesome, too.
 

Blanchett is definitely Williams' cuppa tea. She has that old Hollywood style in the vein of Hepburn which I can see inspiring Williams, hence the delightful theme (that doesn't really fit the character at all). 
 
It would've been nice if Spielberg doubled down on the film noire style (in the vein of a Humphrey Bogart mystery) but the film ended up some bizarre hybrid of styles and feels more like a poor initiation of his own work than a continuation.

Indeed. But Irina's theme is such a wonderful tribute to the old film noir scores in style that it is a shame that no one has recorded the concert arrangement yet. It is simply gorgeous.
 
And it is very true that Irina Spalko in Indy IV doesn't have anything to do with the whole femme fatale archetype as characterized by the old film noir leading ladies. Sure she is a fatal female character but in a different sense entirely. 

I think the theme was inspired more by Williams’ infatuation with the actress portraying the character than anything else—“she would rule my world!”, as he said on camera to Spielberg
