What are my options to 1) use miles to purchase an upgrade and 2) upchange my fare class so that I can actually accrue United MileagePlus Miles?

Any advice would be great!
My advice is to be clear on where you are flying from before worrying about anything else. ZRH is definitely well-beyond the LGA perimeter so no one flies that route. You are either connecting through somewhere or flying from JFK/EWR (if from NY).
