I have a trip on my Rail Pass that requires a Supplement with a message that I can buy either at the station or onboard.  I do not not have a seat reservation as there has not been any mention of that being required.  Just want to check that it is okay to board and pay on board for the supplement.

Then there is a 10€ surcharge for the direct ECs through Brennerpass. You can make it on tickets.oebb.at : add Interrail/Eurail as a discount and select one-way tickets.

A seat reservation costs 3€ extra. However it is impossible to make one for tomorrow's train at 11:24 so I expect it to be pretty full. You can always board but you might have to swap seats along the way or stand for part of the journey.

Alternatives :

- earlier or later EC

- regional train to Brennero + RE train to Verona : seat reservation not possible and no surcharge

Is it for the IC between Amsterdam and Brussels ? Seat reservation is indeed not necessary or even possible.

There's no supplement, whatever the app says

I'd say try your luck on the 11:24 train, 1st class carriages shouldn't be full. However please note that the surcharge costs 15€ for 1st class passholders.

For all Italian trains also use tickets.oebb.at (no booking fee) : 13€ Frecciarossa, 3€ IC trains.
