Is there any way to make the calendar show direct flights only?

No.

It's really unbelievable that they still have enabled that functionality.

If you book a mix cabin award on UA metal with one leg in Y and one leg in J, can you upgrade the Y leg is space becomes available at some point?

You're not asking the question you want the answer to.

Answer to the question you asked, yes. Answer to the question you meant to ask, no.

I guess the question I'm asking is - can you get bumped in J for free if space becomes available. Why is it different than plan B? You're paying for J for the whole route, just sitting in Y bc J is not available right now.

If award inventory opens up, yes.
No.
Why not? What am I missing?

What min value should I go for when redeeming UA? I have a 12.5k option, or $157 cash.

Oy, depends how much you value your miles and your cash. Your question is entirely subjective and no one can answer if for you.
keep in mind the 12.5k doesn't include the TSA fee, whereas the $157 does

Is UA having issues seeing SQ availability?
AC NH and UA expert mode are all showing seats and UA reps say that can't see it.
