What The Heck?

I have an international trip coming up with Ethihad airways this month end. The return trip would come to about 19k+ miles. I am travelling with my spouse and kid. I got a complimentary platinum status from AA last month valid till 12/31/14 and enrolled for it. If i fly 12k within this period, i keep it till Feb 2016. After some going back and forth i was able to get all 3 of our AA FF numbers entered in to Ethihad airways tickets. I am still not sure if i will get to enjoy my AA platinum status benefits with Ethihad as they are codeshare partners only and Ethihad is not part of Oneworld. While receiving complimentary platinum status with AA, i didnt get any free 500 mile upgrades and just hoping for an upgrade for the US one way flight during my upcoming trip. Let me see.
My questions are:
1. Since we are 3 of us, if i get an upgrade, will both my companions get upgraded or is it valid only for one companion?
2. Is it really worth going for platinum challenge for my spouse, paying $240, considering this trip in mind? I am looking at the 100% bonus miles mainly. So, my spouse would be getting about 19k miles for $240.
