Thank you. This would be early morning so more of a problem of first trains of the day rather than last. I am surprised that Interrail still entitles you to HOTNAT without a pre-booked reservation.
If I have an Interrail and am refused HOTNAT due to that (rather than no space available etc)...
I am looking at booking a journey from Utrecht to Paris, via Rotterdam (more expensive) or Brussels (cheap).
HOTNAT appears to cover NS and Eurostar. I'm concerned about NS being late and missing the eurostar. I have three scenarios:

Italy and Sweden can be difficult with mandatory reservations on Intercity/high speed trains as well. Poland and Hungary have some mandatory reservations but these are very cheap.
What are you looking to do? If loco haulage then Belgium, Czechia and Poland can be good.

Also consider the Trenitalia pass if visiting Italy. This includes a fixed number of journeys on Fecciarossa, Intercity and Intercity Notte (the sleepers) in Italy. I would highly recommend it if visiting Sicily - it's extremely good value on the sleepers (~£40/journey in your own cabin).
The platform 5 book for Italy says about the Class 220:
It sounds like it was GCF operated ones you saw, which are numbered:
220028
220029
220045
220060
Can't help you on which of them is in Verona I'm afraid.
