Question on upgrade with Skyward miles

Hi,

Have booked an Emirates Economy fare that's upgrade-able on the outgoing leg from FRA to SIN (for myself and the missus)
I have 84000 Amex miles I can convert 5 to 4 on Skywards. (67200)

Seems an upgrade can only be booked 72 hours before the flight and it's not guaranteed.

How many miles would it be to upgrade to business ?
Could I upgrade only on the FRA - DXB part (I'm only interested in the A380 really)
Do I have to already have the miles on my Skywards account ? (Don't want my miles trapped in Emirates program)
Can I buy miles to make up the difference if there is one ?

Cheers
