Questions about Class of Service when deviating...

Getting into OAK at 0005L 14Aug after 10 hour flight from KIX (11:30 duty period); scheduled DH is 0615 15Aug (coach back to MEM $592 bank)... I am looking to deviate and depart OAK at 0615 14Aug to SAT...

Question#1&2: What Class of service am I authorized? Is this same duty period travel?

Question #3: My August Deviation bank can cover cost of 1st Class ticket ($755) on Delta; can I use it to go 1st class?

Question #4: USAir 1st class is $423 (less than DH fare) can I go 1st class on USAir at this price without even consideration to same duty period travel?

Have researched contract and and found info referring to DH flights should be scheduled greater than 2 hours for after arriving international trips for same duty period travel. Also, DHs should be scheduled within 4hours of arrival for same duty period travel but no reference for domestic or international trip.

Thanks for your help in deciphering my options!!!
