Any advice gratefully received, as usual...
Yes and yes. Three hours will be plenty of time to clear customs, pick up bags and take UPX to Union Station. The train station is at Terminal 1 where you will be landing and not hard to find. UPX leaves 4 times an hour and the trip takes 25 minutes. The trains are comfortable and it's a short walk from the UPX station to Vial Rail departures.
