I dont know if there is another way to get them to stand up, thats the only way I've heard. And welcome to YT!
Yes- that about the neutering!
With the ears, there are a fair few different ways to get them up (I know, I've tried most of them!), but if you want to try that then you will need to find one of the step by steps to tell what to use and how; and if causes infection you'll hopefully know about it before the tape comes off (smell alone), but if done properly it won't lead to infection as they still need to be able to hear, and you can still clean pretty normally.

ETA: and at 6 months there is still time to get the ears up- Poppets finally came up on new years day- after I had one last, final go at having them shaved! Her 1st birthday is on the 7th!!!

(sorry tutbugaloo, I proof read this, and it comes across as I'm shooting down your advise... I'm not, I just can't find a way to reword my added advise to change the horrible-seeming tone!)
