We'll be boarding the CS tomorrow (October 20) at 9:39. We have a bedroom. Will the dining room be open for us?

No, most likely will not. If the train is on time, likely the final seating will be having dessert and not accepting more parties. More likely the train will be 30 minutes or so behind schedule into Oakland and no chance. The crew will be dressing down and preparing for 6:30am start the next morning. Definitely eat dinner ahead of time or bring food aboard so you're not uncomfortable. Enjoy your trip.
 
Even if the dining car is closed, you may still be able to purchase items in the lounge/cafe but, they will be on your dime as only dining car meals are included in the sleeper ticket.

If it were me I would have dinner before boarding because that train tends to run late and the the dining car and cafe car may both be closed.
 
And if you are riding the CS southbound, then you might barely catch breakfast in the dinner.
