Yes - the tickets purchased from Undercovertourist.com are Magic Your Way tickets and are fully upgradable. (Though, like all MYW tickets, any changes have to be made within 14-days from the first time they go through a turnstile.)

If the tickets are unused (and haven't gone through a turnstile) at the time you upgrade, you are given the price you paid for them. You don't "lose money," but you only get the amount UCT charged you for them.
One work around that sometimes bypasses that is to go through a turnstile with the ticket and THEN go to Guest Services to do the upgrade. I've had that work for me in making the tickets the Disney value, rather than the UCT value. (No guarantees on that working though.)

The "within 14-days of first use" rule applies to any and all tickets -- including base tickets, hoppers, and non-expiry tickets.
In my experience -- but I wasn't paying close attention -- the AP date starts on the date you purchase the AP, not the date the original MYW ticket was used. But you might want to contact the CMs at Disney Ticketing for confirmation on that one. Call 1-407-566-4985 and choose Option #2. (From 8:30am - 4:45pm EST.)
