Some teeth grinding and fast talk in German helps with LH, sort of like hand waiving and Italian in Italy ;-)

She confirmed to me that UA 927 is a code share with Lufthansa. If we do miss the connecting flight, who should I talk to, Lufthansa or UA?
It will assuredly be cheaper to pay for a hotel, but you would be wise to insist on a hotel room because the airline did the booking. If that doesn't work, I would write the airline when you get home and also invoice the hotel room to go-today.com.
As far as navigating FRA...

Its not so bad past security, especially if you are staying in the same concourse. Also, experienced FRA travelers can pretty easily handle it.
