Asking to use your mother's points for lounge access if she isn't there is likely to fail as it is very likely a breach of ROP's terms & conditions. besides, I suspect the account holder has to be flying - otherwise anybody who has a friend with excess ROP miles could give/sell access.

That said, I suggest you try perhaps getting a letter from her authoring this use of her miles to show the staff could assist. (sorry about the mother-in-law mix-up!)

For the upgrade/reward you ask about:

what sector?
how many people?
what class from/to?

BKK-LHR is pretty popular and awards are often booked 9-11 months in advance - a lot depends on whether it is a holiday season and day of the week. A week out seems unlikely, but you could be lucky.

IMHO, using miles for upgrade is poor value compared to an outright award. But again, if you are unlikely to earn more then burn them as you wish!
