United sale on www.cheaptickets.com

I am currently looking for a flight from BNA to PEK and checked prices on ual.com. I got an email today from cheaptickets that there is a special united sale and did some trial bookings on cheaptickets.com and ual.com. If I e.g. compare leavint on October 12th and come back on October 23rd I come up with 1103$ vs 1347$ on ual.com
I assume it is probably bulk tickets they are reselling. I am going with my wife and son. Now I have some questions for people that might have used cheaptickets :

- will those fares give me miles ?

- can I upgrade them with a SWU ? I seem not to be able to see the fare class.

- are there other disadvantages using the vs ual direct ?

- can I ask ua to price match :-)

thanks for your help
