The policy requires a common PNR to extend elite bag privileges. Some have been able to get an "cooperative" agent to extend to family members but doubt that would work for others.
As far as CPU, you may be able to get a gate agent to add an off-PNR traveling companion at the gate. It does appear to be policy anymore but it was or pmCO and some agents will still do it. Expect many to say no.
