a) The recall covers only 2000 and up cars. There's plenty of 1999s running around with the TK 3.0 (original) DIs.
b) The 2003 and newer cars also have updated engine management software that eases the stress on the DI. AFIK there's no data showing the life expectancy for newest style DIC with original software.
Step 1 of the recall repair is to "punch the ticket" before they even pull the DI. Then when they pull the DI, if it's TK3.6 (or newer) they put some silicone grease on the plugs and call it done. I suppose the new part they give you (if you deserve one) carries the standard Saab 1 year parts warranty, but after that, you are on your own.
