If I see upgrades available on Expertflyer, can I order the BXP1 after I request the upgrade from meeting services, or can I order the BXP1 while on the phone with meeting services, or do I have to order the BXP then call meeting services and hope the upgrade is still there?

You need the BXP1 to request an upgrade from Meeting Services. Now that BXP1s are issued digitally, you can request a cert as soon as you see the upgrade available then can read the serial no. out to the agent.

I noticed that my BXP1 cleared (LAX-JFK), yay!
Of course I didn't get a notification, and my ticket hasn't been re-ticketed.
When I called the meeting service to apply the BXP1, the agent asked me serial number.
Does that mean I don't need to give the paper cert at LAX anymore?

Can you earn BusinessExtra points if you don't book on AA.com?

Yes but it has to be added to the ticket with a phone call (there is no way to do this online if the ticket was purchased outside of AA).

Or request credit after you fly.

unless you book with BA, whose website allows you to enter both AA FF and BE numbers.

Specifying BXP1 / BXP3 Upgrade-eligible Fares in ITA
 
As we know, BXP1 & BXP3 upgrades exclude B, N, O, Q, S fares. It's possible to "upfare" to an eligible fare class. So, how to search for eligible fares specifically on ITA? One option is to specify a V or G fare, which is often the lowest eligible fare. But, with the advent of Premium Economy (P fare), this is not always the case. So, the better solution is to exclude the ineligible fares. Took me some hunting around and trial & error to figure this out, so thought I would share here. Applying ~ NOT logic and & AND logic, the ITA code looks like this:
jfk:: aa /f ~bc = b & ~bc = n & ~bc = o & ~bc = q & ~bc = s
(Or you can place everything after the slash directly in the second advanced control box.)

If you want to string that together with other commands, such as maximum duration, you separate them with a semicolon:
jfk:: aa /maxdur 800 ; f ~bc = b & ~bc = n & ~bc = o & ~bc = q & ~bc = s
If people feel this is useful, I can add to the wikipost.

For those who have used BXP3s, do they clear like SWU's into C class for two-cabin and A class for three-cabin?

and now that they're not paper certs, you can basically redeem and have the upgrade clear the same day?

Yes, provided C or A space is available.

Does anyone know how to remove the business extra number from an existing reservation that hasn't been flown yet?
