I'd go from LCY if you really want to go on LH
Have you considered via the cesspit of LAX on NZ? The downside of that is of course LAX. SFO is much more civilised.

UA isn't so bad in F

There's nothing more direct since the demise of MAN-LAS

Yes, you pay the full whack on a through ticket.

LH would be under no obligation to look after you on 2 separate PNR's. You are much better off on a single booking/ticket for the sake of a few quid, or doing an overnight in FRA to ensure that you make the connection.

UA F isn't as bad as some people make out.
