Answer 1

self.request.user refers to the currently logged in user. That is why you are getting the same result for all users.
To get what you want, you need to make the following change in your views:
user_prof = UserProfile.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
But also, I'm not sure why you are using an UpdateView when you simply want to display objects? You should use TemplateView instead.
