Wow, scheduled flights over a year in advance. Didn't even think that was possible

You can through travel agents - VH for example. They will hold onto the money for the flights until they are released. That said, that's a LOOOONG way off - I booked 10 months out this year and thought that was really prematurely!

I know that but I don't understand how they can know the flight times and/or guarantee the price this far in advance (i.e. before flights are even released).

From what I understand, the airlines issue "provisional" schedules but they can change, in which case the TA contacts the customer and reschedules. I suspect they also have a minimum selling price which ensures they cover the maximum the airline will charge them for a seat.
