My question is: If I am offered this upgrade when checking in for $$, will the amount I pay be credited for PQD?

I'm asking since I will be close to qualifying for 100k for the first time. Thanks!
There are no complimentary upgrades for Polaris / China flights.

Cash upgrades offered online will not earn PQDs.
They might earn PQM bonus. Depends on the new fare class and the particular upgrade offer.
