I can't say for sure, but I don't believe comedians have the call on who opens for them? They definitely do not when it comes to scheduled/televised gigs, by that I mean a contractual or a sponsored event type of deal.
Chappelle more than likely got the spot through an agent, and there are a lot of situations where people are called in last minute as well. So while he definitely could have known who was going to do his warm-up, in advance or not, there's also very little he could do about it even if he wanted too.

idk, I'd give Mulaney the benefit of the doubt for now. Since comedy is his profession, and if he is struggling, he doesn't have the benefit to be picky about who's hiring, or risk against interacting with a different guest let lone performing after them at all due to personal/political issues.

That's not really how things work for people on John Mulaney's level. Mulaney is struggling on a personal level but he absolutely is not struggling on a professional level, he's one of the most popular standups in the world.

But even if that weren't the case, my understanding is that the context of the event made it clear that Mulaney did specifically approve of Chappelle being on the bill. If I recall correctly he came on stage after Chappelle's set finished to give him a hug.
