480p to 720p

Is there any software out there that can help me upscale to bs-fuji like video?

Avisynth.

Yeah pretty much if you're going to mess with upscaling; you will absolutely need to do quite a bit of filtering which would require Avisynth.

As for which filters and settings and stuff; that kind of relies on a video per video basis and I'm not quite sure where to recommend you get started at.

In most instances, upscaling would not look good at all, in some instances it may look good but it won't get you any quality benefit.

In my experience with up-scaling video resolution, this is pretty much true, especially with a leap from 480p to 720p.

up-scaling depends solely on the source you're working with, and how it was encoded.  I've up-scaled captures encoded for Video-CD (I didn't possess a DVD burner at the time and went with making Video-CDs as a cheap alternative) with VirtualDub's Lanczos3 filter to a standard 720x480p, and the picture quality varied from video to video, so as Koby has stated before, it varies.
