Salamun alaykum

Peoples' rank may be elevated in Barzakh, however, not due to any voluntary act they perform there since the book for their actions is closed. It may be elevated because of some good work that they have left behind and the effects of it reaches them after their death, or due to charities or acts done on their behalf by their friends or relatives. There may also be other causes like breezes of mercy coming from the Lord every now and then.

Qur'anic Verse . Qur'an . Asbab al-Nuzul

Where can I find information regarding the circumstance, time and place for the revelation of each verse of the Qur'an?

Salamun alaykum

The occasion of revelation is recorded only for some verses of the Quran not for all of them. You can find them in any book of tafsir like Majma' al-Bayan or Al-Mizan. It should be noted that not all those reports are reliable and sometimes they contradict each other or even contradict the Quran. Hence, one should be careful about the source from which these reports are taken.
