Am I guaranteed a seat on a train which does not require a seat reservation? I do have the trip loaded onto my pass. Appreciate that I cannot sit in a reserved seat but I just want a seat.

There are 22 seats. You can make a reservation free of charge through tickets.oebb.at : add Eurail as a discount and select one-way tickets.
I'd do that for peace of mind.
Heavily depends on the train, please give use the route if you want precise advice.
On regional trains reservations are not possible for anyone : simply hop on and find a free seat.
On trains with optional reservations : you can sit on any unreserved seat and if the train is totally full, you might have to stand but it is rare. On busy mainlines it is a good idea to make a reservation, they do not cost much. Avoid eurail.com at all costs.
- free in the UK
- 3€ in multiple countries through tickets.oebb.at (free with a 1st class pass)
- 4.90€ per journey on bahn.com
Actual trip is RJX 660 Salzburg to Innsbruck 17 June 2023 08:56
You can check occupation on tickets.oebb.at : there are 100 seats available in 2nd class so I wouldn't worry.
Optional seat reservations cost 3€ (2nd) or are free (1st).
I have paid for 1st class so are there any 1st class seats available?
