I am planning on flying economy class MAN-DXB and using points to upgrade the onward return flight.

I am wondering a few things. As I have used points to upgrade, will I be able to use the new lounges at T3 using my upgraded ticket?
Yes, you will be able to use the business class lounge at T1 or T3.

Well, there are reasonably comfy sofas.

I am not sure what one has to do with the other, but given the long layover, you are eligible for STPC. Check with EK. And finally, yes you are eligible for the Chauffeur service.
