I don't think it's crazy at all to leave AA for UA. AA is clearly leading the charge to the bottom right now, in pretty much every respect.

Yes, there's a status match/challenge. You get status for 90 days during which you have to meet the challenge requirements. The challenge to 1K exists, but it is not published, so discretionary whether UA offers it or not.

Platinum. For 1K, you need to meet the PQD requirement.
