Another Manners/Etiquette Question - Introducing, Table Sitting

I've been to Japan a couple of time before and my YUL friend (I'll call her Patty) has not. We're both non-Japanese and I have friends in Fukuoka that I'd like Patty to meet because we are all huge fans of a music icon. My Japanese friend (Yoshi) and his brother (Kenji) will pick us up, hang out sightseeing, karaoking and then take us to their parents' home where everyone is and have a big dinner there with his entire family (wives, kids, aunt and parents). This would make it my 3rd time.

When we get to their parents' house, would it be my job to introduce Patty to the rest of the family? Or do I leave that to Yoshi? Yoshi also happens to be the only one in the family that can understand English best.

At the dinner table, I'm assuming that Patty will sit at one of the table ends with Yoshi and Kenji beside her left and right. And myself, I'll probably be in between Kenji and another family member. Is that right?
