It should be either R or RN.

Absolutely nothing.

Yes, but only into R or RN, not into PN.

That is my understanding.

It most likely means that there is only one seat available. It is possible that they could clear 1 out of R and RN would still have one left (R is a subset of RN) but that is not likely.

If you are booking a B (or M as a 1K) fare AND the route is CPU-eligible then yes. You should have an option during the booking process to upgrade the flight.

Because that's no longer part of the system.

Probably. Either one will work so unless you are faced with a situation where RN>0 and R=0 it won't really matter. I wouldn't get too worried about it, especially not this week. When things have calmed down a bit you can call in and have it changed if you want.

Yes, it is.

Probably, but not necessarily.

Any CPU-eligible route, domestic or not, is eligible for the B/M-Up. And Y-Up comes from JN, not PN. It is not inventory-restricted (at least it isn't supposed to be)

It does have a concept of waitlisted. It just doesn't have the concept of listing it the same way.
