I am flying AF Premium economy RUH-CDG-ORD for the first time in my life I step a foot on an AF metals. Booking class will A fare bucket.
I wonder if I will get an offer for upgrade from W to J and if it is going for the two sectors at the same time and at what stage of travel this offer will be extended and how much roughly?

You might get an offer at OLCI when selecting your seat. There are plenty of price reports all over this thread and this one New policy for paid and miles upgrades (AF/KL) - sept 2017, which will give you an idea of the price range on similar routes. The upgrade is on a per sector basis.
When the flights posted in Delta FFP account, would it be the new upgraded class of travel or the originally booked?

You will get the miles according to the original fare class. If you were a member of Flying Blue you could earn a few more miles based on the price of the upgrade.

AF72 CDG-LAX
$477.28 from W to J at OLCI, accepted
Delta ticket stock, outbound on VS was upgraded with 25K SkyMiles about 60 days ahead of departure (SEA-LHR)
So paid $1400 return for the W tickets, $477+25K miles for the upgrades. Pretty pleased with that outcome on this particular trip.

I just did JFK-CDG-HKG-CDG-JFK in J, first leg a 772 (so no F) and the rest 77W.
Received an “exceptional” e-mail offer about 2 days before travel to upgrade the CDG-HKG leg for €1,500. Prob would have considered €1k. Checked back a few times but it didn’t change. Asked at JFK but they said they couldn’t do it, but to try in CDG. At the landslide ticketing desk at CDG, seems the price went up to ~€2k.
Cabin went out empty, FWIW.
Did not receive an email offer for the return. Did not ask in HKG, but asked at lounge in CDG for the last leg, and it was also ~€2k.
No F for me!
