Domestic economy class tickets don't have any free checked bags. You *G status will give you one free checked bag.
3. Are E+ upgrades usually cheaper booking in advance or at check in? If I am at risk of getting bumped out of the seat or an aircraft swap happening, I'd like to lock in E+.
Sometimes the upgrade prices go up after booking, sometimes they go down. Depends on the demand. IME, prices go up closer to the travel date (and on the travel date), but there could be cases where they would discount the fees if there a lot of open E+ seats.
