Thanks for the report. I'm interested in your observaton below:

This was my first A330 flight. I’ve been in the 300 and the 340. From the inside, the 330 seems smaller than both; it looks a lot like a 767.</font>
In what way did the A330 seem smaller to you than the 300 and 340s? They all use the same fuselage cross section so it should seem the same inside except for width. The only thing I can think of is that you were on an A330-200 (which I've never been in) which is shorter than the the A340-300 and A300s and A330-300 (flown in all 3 in the front). I'm guessing this as US manages to put a lie-flat row of FC seats followed by 4 rows of 60" pitch BC seats between the 1st and 2nd doors and galley.
