Hey Oslo,
The exercises that you mentioned are shoulder focused. If you want to build the chest, work chest focused exercises. But, if you really want an answer.... standing...no. The other 2, it just depends on the angle of the bench. Slightly farther back, slightly more chest. Feel free to pm me anytime if you need help.

If you have a tendency to lean back or if your seat is less than upright, the upper chest will be involved.
It isn't optimal in my opinion if you are targeting your front delts with the movement but it is what it is nonetheless.
I wouldn't depend on it solely for upper chest as it's more of a carryover effect. Just do incline presses or flyes if you wanna directly hit upper chest.

Bench hits the upper chest, by the way. No, it's not a primary target, but it is worked by that lift. Much as I feel pretty damn sure that you don't need to mess with that program, if you absolutely had to, and if your chest is exactly as you say in reality, you could maybe try alternating flat bench with incline bench, but keep everything else the same.
It feels wrong to even type that, however, and every instinct tells me you'd be better off sticking with allpro's exactly as written. In the end though, it's your call. Good luck, whatever you decide. Enjoy dem newbie gains!
