LH online special: paid upgrade from Business to First - which mileage credit?

While selecting my seats online I was offered a paid upgrade from Business to First. I was wondering about two things, but there are no details on the rebooking page, nor could Lufthansa give me the info on the phone as this is an "online special":
  1. What happens when I rebook? I know that fees etc are those of the underlying/originally booked fare, but what happens to the amount I paid for the upgrade? Will my booking book into an upgrade if that is available on the new flight? If it's not available, will I lose the amount that I paid for the upgrade or will it be refunded?
  2. Will mileage earning be that of the upgraded class (First), like Swiss does it for its Comfort package upgrades, or that of the underlying fare?
