Some countries like China,Hongkong,Vietnam etc celebrate CNY actively too. So going there will only see limited goods or be competing with their locals. Either way,i think its better off to head to countries that celebrate CNY least.
Indonesia is a good choice to me tho.

Ferry wise shouldnt be a problem. Many ferry companies open up extra ferry trips to Batam during CNY (most ferries will be about at least 80% full). For Balai,you may also consider going there via Batam too. The problem when i start visiting Batam during my 1st CNY year is "hotel rooms". Definitely not easy to get room for myself. (you may wish to check the rooms in booking.com or agoda, good hotel's pricing are already starting climb)
So i learned to book early,plan early. This 2018 year will be my 4th CNY trip to Batam. So much planning and research by myself in this thread here, mostly becos i wish to have a good time during CNY in Batam,hehehe...
(i am not the kind who like playing risk,hehehe... or enjoy competition)
*CNY mentioned above is base on CNY eve,CNY 1st day and 2nd day.
Cheers!
