Natasha, Pierre has been confirmed for the Imperial. Cats has its theater confirmed as well. Not sure why you asked about them (especially since you left their theaters off the available list).
And you're kidding yourself if you think The Humans, Blackbird, Color Purple, and Fun Home will be around a year from now.

Natasha & Pierre is going into the Imperial. The Hudson theatre is a playhouse that is intended to house new British works and imports. I think Prince of Broadway or Smokey Joe's Cafe could play the Longacre. Singing in the Rain could play the Lunt-Fontanne, Palace, Marquis, or Broadway. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory could play the Lyric, Shubert, or Broadway. Like you have said yourself, it may be a bit early to tell. More theaters will become vacant and as they do, the producers will have more choices and we will have more options.

I see why you put blackbird and the humans, but the color purple and fun home haven't been doing terribly.

Fun Home has been on TDF a lot lately. It's recouped so it has some flexibility, but it's not doing well this winter with the Tony winner still in the show. I can't imagine it'll last through another winter after he leaves.
As for Color Purple, when Hudson leaves the show will drop quickly.

The Humans and Blackbird are both currently limited runs. You also have a few others like Gotta Dance (and others that haven't been publicly announced that they are planning on coming) that are looking at next season. Even if King and I doesn't last, its a NFP house (and technically the Hayes is as well though 2ST has been renting it out) so it doesn't need to be on the list.

Any ideas for shows that have not been announced yet? I think we might need some inside info

In regards to the Palace, how soon can they be ready to do the raising and renovation? Is it something that can begin as soon as An American in Paris closes, or will they accept another tenant if the show closes before they are ready to begin that process (and risk that show becoming a hit that could potentially delay the entire project by years)?

In the most recent articles regarding the renovation/raising, they say that a timetable/how it will affect An American in Paris has not yet been announced. My guess is that they are still trying to figure out when/if they should boot An American in Paris to start the renovation. They can't wait forever. I'm going to try and get some more info/updates.

Is Bette Midler's revival of Hello, Dolly! opening in this season? Have theaters been announced/rumored for it? I think it would be good in the Broadway if Fiddler closes.

There have been rumors that Dolly! will take the St. James following an early 2017 Rotten! closing.

Nothing confirmed yet, but last we heard, Amelie was hoping to come in next season. They finish their run in LA in January, so the timing would work out for a Spring opening soon after their tryout.
Also, Groundhog Day is aiming for next season too, isn't it?

It's not being advertised as such. As I said, it's currently a limited run (as in it's only on sale into July). It definitely could extend for a while if Rudin thinks it is warranted.
I had forgotten about Dolly. I think there was a play that was announced a few days ago - another Rudin production - but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.

If you really are interested in knowing which shows have been announced for Broadway, and which shows actually have lead producers, and General Managers attached (i.e. the shows that are far enough in their development that they are actually raising money, hiring creative staff, scouting theaters, etc) you should follow Theatrical Index (http://theatricalindex.com). This is the industry tool for tracking productions.
A lot of shows 'announce' they are going to Broadway, but I'd say only about half of all the productions announced on the Index actually get there.
