It's not possible for you to know there are 12 seats free. The most you can see is how many seats NZ are still selling up to a total of 9 as that's the most they release at a time in GDS.
There is probably about a 95% likelihood of the BP cabin being totally full on that flight as that is the norm. If you don't bid however your chances of an upgrade are 0% - if you bid they're somewhere between 0% and 100%
