(1) What is your home airport? IND
If you want to travel through Canada, then IND-YYZ-XXX on AC is your only choice. UA runs a decent network out of IND, which would allow you to connect to a number of *A airlines in New York or Washington.
Your best bet remains UA, since it's probably the most generous in Y out there even on non-UA flights. As usual, try figuring out your routes and your likely booking classes, and simulate the earnings in a couple of programs.
