EZR is the legacy CO's implementation of the SHARES reservation system. Good FT thread on United's initial botched implementation here.

United's several false starts in modernizing their internal systems is well beyond the scope of this thread. Let's just say that their latest attempts didn't really work which is why the ancient EZR system has to be used sometimes to makeup for its limitations.

I have not tried awardnexus. My guess is that it is similar to expert flyer, and is just a fancy online way of querying Amadeus. If that is the case, then you should be getting the same results.
