Here is info on how the mobile pass works.

https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/getting-started

 

Please be aware of that the Interrail/Eurail planner only is updated once a month so the best thing is to use the timetable of any of the larger national railway companies, like Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) to do the planning. https://www.bahn.com/en

 

Here is good advice on how to make reservations with different train companies.

The train ticket is your mobile pass where you add a journey and create a QR code which is the ticket you show at inspection. It is recommended that you create your ticket just before boarding the train, especially if you have a flexi pass. 

The seat reservation is separated from you ticket. As @mcadv says, reservations for Portugal have to be done in Portugal.

The help is IN the page on all REServations. Cannot do online-do whlist in PT -a day or 2 advacne is always enough, on the day also mostly possible. Your fears about all trains full monthes ahead is complete nonsense. Cost is 5€

BTW-most likely after you go via ESpana-there its even more of a game to visit counters and hope+pray-certainly for the trains that about any newbee seems to want to take
