(2) Book the award from my account in my family member's name
(3) Book the award from my account in my name with my family member added as an additional guest?
You can only do 2 and 3. And I had been doing 2. I had a few occasion where the add'l guest name disappear between booking date and the check-in date

You can also read post 2154 that I have earlier this year for some additional info on the booking process for a family member or friend.
