For UA, Basic Economy is the name of a restricted service level of economy travel and is not purchasable via miles.

Economy (lowest) 65K miles would be either a Saver or Standard Economy award,

Yes, but there may be a fee based on your UA Premier status to recover the miles. Cancellations within 24 hours of booking incur no cancellation fee.
