1. In new system I will need 80 Points to upgrade one way for both flights LHR-SFO and SFO-SYD? ...
Assuming all on UA and not a stopover (but a connection) in SFO, then it will be 40 PlusPoints (which higher UA elites receive) each way if W fare or higher. 80 points if less than W fare (which includes K fare).
You will need to keep your UA MP number on the ticket until you are upgraded or you will be prioritized as a non-UA elite.
What UA status do you have?

Yes,
Ways to search for upgrade space at booking?
