Absolutely NOT. As if other star alliance give this perks to UA elites, UA has to give the same offer to star alliance elites.

Depends how you define premium snacks and drinks. NH don't serve ginger ale in Y, only F and C, they could serve that as premium to elites in Y too.

That could work only if there is open sky agreement, like UA with NH and LH.

Same us your first question, absolutely NOT. If you do that, then UA has to offer receiprocal access.
