The Glacier Express and Bernina Express run quite far from Interlaken yes. Instead of the crowded and expensive trains which can sell out weeks in advance, it’s way better to use the reservation-free hourly regional trains running on the same line. They’re less busy and have pull-down windows too :)
I’d take part of the Glacier Express route on your way to Como :
Use SBB app for all connections
For your other questions :
For your other days in Interlaken there are much nearer very scenic train rides :
As no trains in Switzerland require seat reservations (except for the Glacier and Bernina Express which can be avoided, see above), you can board any train you’d like at any time of the day. You’ll maybe in the mood for Lucerne… or Montreux and you can decide last-minute, 2 min before boarding the train !!! The great flexibility of Eurail pass

+1Thank you very much for your consideration
So I can take glacier express from brig to Andermatt !,
if yes do I need to make a seat reservation please ?
Brig And Brig Bahnhofplatz (where i can take the glacier express ) are 2 different stations ?
What do you mean of front of the station please ?
Your answer very very helpful thanks again
Bahnhofplatz means train station square (in German) because the train to Andermatt basically leaves from the street. You need to leave the main building of Brig train station, there are signs don't worry. You'll see the small tracks very easily
Take a regional train between Brig Bahnhofplatz and Andermatt, they are reservation-free and run every hour on the Glacier Express route. Otherwise the special branded Glacier Express runs 2-3 times a day + you need to pay a 49 CHF seat reservation + it is often fully booked weeks in advance (or there are no window seats left)
In my opinion and I'm sure others will agree, it is better to take the regional train (it doesn't take longer btw). You can open windows and it's even better than the big windows for me :)
