I have downloaded 10.2 and configured my Sonos system for Google Assistant. I have 4 Sonos Amps and 5 Sonos Beams+Ones+SUBs. I have 9 Home Hubs and 6 Minis.
Some early observations for which I would appreciate feedback/confirmation from Sonos Support:
* Only rooms that have a Sonos Beam or Ones can be directly paired with Google Assistant. My Sonos Amps do not appear to be controlled by GA (e.g. using a Home Hub or Mini as a "microphone" for a Sonos Amp).
* Related, none of my Sonos speakers appear as targets within Google Home to which you could map "default speaker". For example, map a Home Hub to a Sonos room as the default speaker.
* I have configured Google Music (for which I have a premium subscription) as the default service. But every time I ask Google to "Play [artist or song]", the Sonos responds saying "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
* In Google Home, there is a Sonos TV Control for each Sonos room including the Amps. This must be manually adopted to my home, then assigned a room in the Google Home app. However, it's not clear to me what the TV control does given that it isn't a speaker (e.g. perhaps permit voice control of the Sonos Beam/Amp's HDMI-CEC via Google Assistant?).
* It appears that you cannot cast to a Sonos system (e.g. open YouTube and select Cast or use similar control on Android phone). This may be why I cannot map my Sonos rooms as "default speakers"

You should be able to use a Mini or Home hub to send music to your Amp by specifying the Amp room name. Try "Hey Google, play XXX on (Amp room name)".
She says, "I'm afraid I can't do that yet"

It is.
Your luck is better than mine. Here is a sample:
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty"
Reply: "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty in the Office"
Reply: "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty on the Office Sonos"
Reply: "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty on Google Play"
Reply: "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty on Google Play Music"
Reply: "I can't do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices."
"Hey Google, play Tom Petty on Google Play Music on the Office Sonos"
Reply: "I looked for Tom Petty on Google Play Music on the Office on Google Play Music but it either isn't available or can't be played now"

I haven't been home to view the update yet, but I would make sure that Google and Sonos are both setup with the same music service account. If they are, I would try removing and re-enabling the account on Sonos, then try the command again.

I do not think this is possible at this time. It came later with Alexa, probably the case here.

Can't help here, I don't have a Beam/Amp. Sorry.

Correct, casting is not possible at this time. Whether Chromecast capability is coming is not known.
I'm able to voice control from Google Home Hub to Sonos Play:1 pair, but they don't show up in list of Default speakers, which is EXTREMELY disappointing. Have to say something like: "Hey Google, play my flow from Deezer on Office Sonos". Annoying.
