If I cancel the original booking and get future flight credit, would I have $900 in travel funds, use $850 for new trip and then have $50 left over to apply to a new trip?
There is not supposed to be such a thing as "cancel and get future flight credit". With how messy things are it's entirely possibly someone might void the coupon and write you an ETC, but the former option is supposed to be the only one.

By the rules, the $189 is forfeit in the event of a voluntary change. YMMV on agents refunding it or transferring the upgrade.
