I asked the WotC Sage this question, but haven't got a response yet, so...

If you cast a spell from a higher spell slot, either if you prepare it or if you're a sorcerer and you do it on the fly, does that increase its effective level? ie, if a sorcerer used a 2nd level spot to cast charm person, would that increase the spell's save DC by 1, as it was cast one level higher?

Negative.
For that you would have to use the "heighten spell" metamagic feat. It allows you to cast spells at a higher caster level.
