Also these were ticketed separately. If I am late even though because of their flight would I just be out of luck with them helping me find an alternate that was not full fare?

If I were you, I would probably try and get on an earlier flight into EWR. I don't think you're going to miss the connection, but since you're on two separate records, I'd probably be extremely conservative and get to EWR as early as I could.
