Night Train Ordering Questions and EuRail

Hello! I am traveling with my parents (3 passengers total) and we have a plan all set out for the route - Copenhagen to Prague, Prague to Krakow, Krakow to Budapest, Budapest to Munich, Munich to Vienna (towards Budapest), and Vienna to Milan. Every train we plan to do a night train with the sleeper option including the shower.

Given that information, many questions come up. First, as I was trying to purchase through the railcc website, it seemed that I had to pay only a flat rate and I couldn't select that I wanted specifically the deluxe option with the sleeper and shower. Is there a way to make this kind of purchase through railcc or do I have to do it through the respective rail website (whether it is DB Bahn or CD or OBB, etc.)? Also, the flat rate I noticed through railcc didn't seem to apply the special deal being 65 euro per trip instead of around 130 euro per trip. Is it too late to get that offer? Since the trip is many weeks away, I thought it might apply.

Also, I wanted to see how the EuRail night train system worked. From other forum posts and the information on the website, I understand that by purchasing a EuRail pass, the fees for the night trains become much cheaper. However, when I try to purchase a train ticket on railcc, it will usually take me to the other respective rail website to purchase the night train ticket there. I cannot see if there is a way to inform them that I have the EuRail pass which should decrease the price. All of the websites are different too, which makes things challenging.

Hopefully all will work out well! I appreciate all the help I can get! Thank you!
