Wife and 2 3 year olds? So that will be an anchor either way.
Going forward I will be earning Connect Miles on paid trips and some credit card spend so it will be less of an issue. But now I have about a million United and UR miles to use.
Which credit card do you have that awards Copa Silver?
Most of your questions are answered here:

For revenue tickets, you can add one companion to the upgrade list. Upgrades on award tickets are only available for Presidential Platinum members.
United does offer status matches, but typically not to star alliance partners:

Nevermind, it looks like the credomatic infinite card offers silver status.
