Do they offer more to status customers (I have Platinum) if you book direct?

Do you get points if you book via Expedia?

Thanks in advance for any advice...
Officially, no perks are offered if booked via OTA, though it happens sometimes. Definitely: no points.

You could try the best price guarantee though this is fraught with difficulties.
