Transfer points into a (new) ana account? If that's the case, will the earned miles get wonky? i prefer to earn on UA.
Can someone else's account upgrade me?
Since you're booked on a UA ticket, I wonder if the UA forum would have an answers to your other questions.
As for Star Alliance Upgrade Awards
Their main page is
http://www.staralliance.com/en/upgrade-awards
When selecting United, you then get this page, which has cabin/class info
https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...rade/saua.aspx
And here is the link form Star alliance to the ANA page for these awards.

Good luck.
P.S. I recently flew NH 8 in F and posted photos in various threads here on the ANA forum
