You ticket payment is to BD. UA receives nothing until after you board your flight. There is no way for UA to refare, or even make any changes prior to travel. BD is the only one who has control. I am not 100% sure about BD, but refaring is unique to US based airlines, I don't think any of the foreign airlines does it.

You still receive bonus as it is operated by UA.

That should not be a problem.

Your dad will need to go to the airport with you to gift you the SWU for codeshare. There is no way to do that in advance nor on the website.
