No. Are they likely to? No. Would you be successful in arguing the point if you don't make the required stays? No. Are you willing to risk not making the promo? Only you can answer that.
Yes, the CC nights will count for your status. Yes, the CC nights can rollover if you exceed your status tier. But I have never seen CC nights, especially anniversary gifts, count for a promo. There may be exceptions, but I haven't seen any.
There is a slight chance, based on the new policy, that free nights will count for the promo. The terms say they shouldn't, but they're implementing a new policy and might not get the details right.
