1. I should be able to book on SAS and get my UA points and enjoy my UA Platinum status right?

2. what's the best way to book a companion's ticket using UA miles? I doubt I'll get the direct SAS flights using the UA website for award travel. Do I have to call? Do Plat MP get any benefit?

If by points you mean RDM - redeemable UA miles - yes just put in your UA Mileageplus number when you purchase the ticket from SK. If you want PQD you have to purchase it through UA and get it on a 016 (united) ticket.

Now - I would recommend you use the UA award search and get the mileage ticket booked first - THEN go in and buy your ticket to match. If the flights don't show up you may have to call in to the mileageplus service center to get it booked (if it is even available). Good luck.
