I wonder how much money they are getting paid while stuck, I'd imagine it's gotta be pretty significant.

They will probably owe Boeing money in all honesty.

I assumed that the NASA astronaut corps have a standard salary whether the astronauts get to fly or not. Are they only paid while in space?

Getting paid full 24/7 overtime, perhaps. Not that they don't deserve it.
