If I'm doing greyskull -- what can I sub in if I can't do any lower body workouts due to an injury?

Explain more please. As in you can't do any lower body stuff?

If not I would pick a challenge from the challenges book and work twoard that every day after the lifts. Like for press day I would chase the Z-press challenge.

Also, if let's say I am suppose to do 3 sets of 45 lbs, 50 lbs, and 55 lbs -- if I get 8 reps on 45 lbs, do I up it by 5 or 10 next workout?

First your weight stays the same across all sets.

First two sets you stop after 5 reps. Last set you go to absolute failure. If you get ten+ reps on the last set you can double the progression (2.5->5 for upper body, 5->10 for lower). It's an option and honestly unless you are getting 12+ reps I would not recommend it.
