We just tapped it on Sunday so we probably have about 4 gallons left but both us and the SO's like it a lot so we can probably drink it pretty quick.

We thought about the growler idea but we'll just have to see how much is left this weekend. We have do have 3 64oz growlers.

If we pull the pale ale keg out of the fridge and let it sit at room temp for a couple of weeks, I assume nothing bad would really happen, right? Should I leave it under pressure or just charge it to keep a seal and then disconnect the CO2?

No need to keep it under pressure, just disconnect the CO2.

Only thing to remember is that CO2 comes out of solution MUCH easier at room temperature. So when you go to put that keg back on tap you will want to chill it back to serving temp before taping/pouring or you will get all foam.
