instant upgrade

I have been searching around and cannot find the answers to my questions. I am planning a paid trip (domestic) on AA and on the booking site I am offered an "instant upgrade." The flights would be two class and I want to be in first and assume this upgrade puts us in first.
Is this upgrade a guaranteed seat in first? Are there any risks of not getting our seats in first? Also, I have a vague memory of reading that I need to be a member of AAdvantage? I belong to the BAEC if that helps?
Thanks and my apologies if the answers were somewhere.
