2 Teens Boston to London Virgin Atlantic

My daughter and her friend (each 14) are flying together this summer from Boston to London on Virgin Atlantic. They will be registered unaccompanied minors. As this is a first for us, I have a few questions and wondered if anyone could help. Thank you so much in advance.

Both girls are American citizens and will have American passports, but my daughters friend is also Finnish and may choose to travel with her EU Finnish passport. Will this make any difference when they go thru customs?

Would they be treated like relatives and kept together (tickets booked together on one credit card)?

The Virgin Atlantic website states they will be accompanied thru customs. If they were chosen for additional screening, would a female Virgin Atlantic employee stay with them?

I did not choose the flights but they are already booked and paid for by the other childs parents. They chose to have them fly on an evening flight that will land in London in the morning their time. Will the flight attendants make the kids sleep? How bad of jet lag do you think they will experience. This is the first in international travel for my daughter, but not the other child. It is the first alone experience for both.
