3) What about using RDM for an upgrade on, say, an M class fare (I don't see a way to do this from the USBancorp website, but maybe I'm missing something)?

4) Is one constrained to directing all questions and changes through Travelocity?
Your ticket appears to DL as though you paid for it with a credit card. So RDMs, MQMs, and upgrades all work as they would for a normal paid ticket.

I believe you would contact DL directly to use miles to upgrade the ticket, change seats, update FF number, etc. But I would guess other changes that would trigger a reticketing, like an itinerary change, may need to be done through Travelocity.
