Does each official get paid the same amount?

not necessarily


and what is that amount?

depends

does it differ for major and mid-major conferences?

yes


do referees earn more than umpires?

typically (because they are usually on a higher tier) but not necessarily

and is there a per diem?

depends

my understanding also is that conferences and schools can request certain officials and the officials pick out games they want to work. Is that accurate?

not really, schools i guess could ask but the assignors are going to ultimately be the decider. Games are assigned and the officials can accept or decline, typically the latter is based on a myrid of factors, how comfortable the official is with the assignor, your travel plans around that date, etc.
