Yes, domestic segments booked in JN class (elite Standard Awards) display as cleared upgrades on flight status. This is a relic of when JN was for Instant Upgrades for Y/B fares.

Also M fares, an important distinction for this 1K

No. MAJ/HNL requires a GPU and W fare minimum (it's treated as TPAC).

You can apply a single RPU to the other five segments, and they are also CPU eligible.
