Maximizing miles with Privilege Passes

So, a couple of questions, as I'm considering buying the privilege pass.

1) Does class of service benefit apply? In other words, if I fly 2000 miles, do I get credited with 3000 status miles, or 2000 status miles and 1000 aeroplan miles?
2) Can I creatively route my travel within the flight rules in order to take a circuitous route to maximize miles, or, once I've entered my departure and arrival cities, it locks me in to the shortest route and cannot be changed?

Thanks for any help!
