I don't know anything about the GI Bill transferring. The only thing I could find about it was an article about a law maker attempting to amend the Post 9/11 GI bill in 2013 to add a provision for that, but I couldn't find anything about whether or not that was successful.

You can transfer it to your child or spouse, but it's a positive election by the service member, not something that just happens. In the Army it's a retention tool that incurs ADSO.

There are survivor benefits, but the death has to be under certain circumstances. See the DEA link.

So one of the things I am considering post-college is moving to a place like Indonesia where I can easily live on my $360 a month of disability, and try to do some internet stuff for extra cash. Is there any reason why relying on my disability pay while in a foreign country could backfire?

http://www.benefits.va.gov/persona/veteran-abroad.asp This link seems to say I'd be fine.

I can think of reasons why moving to Indonesia to do some internet stuff for extra cash after graduating college could backfire, but risk to your $360 a month isn't one of them.
