If not, they might give you a hard time.... But, make them check your bag all the way through.
You should be able to check through your bags all the way from IAD to JNB, even with separate ticket, as long as you can show confirmed booking. But I believe from your other posts in FT, the flights IAD-NRT-SIN-JNB are in the same tix, thus no worry about the check-through bags.

If it says there is a plane change in NRT, yes indeed a plane change. I believe UA uses gates mostly in Satellite 3 as well as 4. When you get off from your flight from IAD, just follow the INTERNATIONAL CONNECTION. Since you are in F for NRT-SIN, you can either visit UA IFL near Gate 31, or NH F Lounge in 4th Floor of Satellite 4. I personally prefer NH F Lounge. Well don't worry about the distance between the satellite. It takes about 10 minutes to go from NH F Lounge to gate 31 for example.

UA flight will arrive in SIN at Terminal 3. Your flight to JNB departs from Terminal 2. You are in C. Thus, you will only allow to use SKL C. I suggest after you land you just go to SKL C at Terminal 3. It's more spacious and the shower is better than the one in T2.
From T3 to T2, you can take a skytrain airside. Very quick.

On the way back, with only 1 hour 35 minutes connection at SIN, I should say, you still have time to visit SKL F to refresh before going to UA Gates at T3. Your flight from JNB may arrive in T2 or T3. And almost 2 hours connection in NRT is plenty of time to visit any lounge.
Have a great flight!
