You may also try to do it online. CO does offer online options during the OLCI process IME.

Yes. The catch here is that a carrier change SDC is supposed to be performed at the airport only and within 3 hours of the new flight, akin to the UA policies.

If you are moving to UA metal then I believe you fall under their policies once at the airport.
Good luck!
