Are boosts random?

I believe the boosts are specific hotels or chains that have some promotional agreement with Chase. No idea how often these boosts come and go, though, or if they'll always be there for that specific hotel.

What happens if I cancel….i think I read correctly I’ll get my points back?

That screenshot does show free cancellation by a certain deadline.

That said, there are both nonrefundable and refundable bookings through the portal. Always look at the details of the specific booking you're on before you confirm.
