HTML https://www.epcrugby.com/2023/01/26/heineken-champions-cup-round-of-16-fixture-dates-venues-kick-off-times-and-tv-coverage/<br
/>for the Round of 16 games.
We play Stormers on April 1st at 4pm local time. That will make
it 3pm UK time as SA doesn't observe Daylight Savings and we
will have gone to Summertime the weekend before.

Am I reading it correctly that if Montpellier beat Exeter and we
beat the Stormers then we would have home advantage against
Montpellier in the quarter-finals as we were ranked higher than
them in the Pool stages (6 vs 7) ?

Yes, I read it the same way. Our game is #6 and the Exeter v
Montpelier game is #3 in this:

I think if we beat Stormers and Montpellier, then we need Glaws
to win out of them, Sarries, Ospreys and Edinburgh to give us a
home SF as well?

I think the original EPCR press release indicated that the
semi-finals would be played in Europe at EPCR-designated venues
so seedings from the Pool stage become irrelevant at that point
