If I qualify for an international event after winning a national/regional competition in my weight class (eg U82 females or u90 males), then can I compete in the weight class above for the international event (eg U82 —> opens or U90 —> U105s)?

You can only ever drop down a category ( U82 -> U73KG) in this scenario, you cannot go up! Likewise, if you miss weight for a category you qualified for, you cannot go up on the day because you’ve missed weight.

Can I get a refund for my competition entry fee?

In the event of athlete withdrawal, injury, illness, or failure to meet qualification or weigh-in requirements, no refund will be provided.
