Can I upgrade Shimano 105 to Di2?
Re: Upgrade 105 to Di2 It can still be done for about $1200 new and cheaper if you’re willing to source secondhand parts over time. I bought an older Azzuri Forza Ultegra DI2 for cheap off Gumtree because the front junction, RD, right shifter and external battery mount needed replacing.
Is it worth upgrading from 105 to Ultegra Di2?
The answer is Ultegra. The question is whether the difference is worth the money. Clearly if you want electronic shifting, then Ultegra is, for now, your only option. Indeed, the recent upgrade of 105 from 5800 to R7000 makes it even more comparable to Ultegra, performance wise.

Yes, this is 100% possible, your bike was built for it in fact. Your dealer will have absolutely everything needed to do the job and it shouldn’t be a problem. You can certainly reuse some of your 105 stuff but I wouldn’t personally unless I was on a real budget. The 105 levers, brakes and rear derailleur are great.
