AB doesn't have a First Class. Only Business class.
Seatguru lists all of row 36 as having extra legroom, while AB only has the the outer seats as XL seats. The middle seats cost less than $20 to reserve while the XL seats are almost $80. I wouldn't pay $80, but I would pay $20 to guarantee extra legroom.
It will depend on the cabin, because a new one is currently in installation.
This is the old one. (without PTV)

A and K have more legroom than a standard seat but there is the box for the emergency slides which makes it a bit uncomfortable. But it is still better than a normal seat. I booked it for a MIA-TXL flight and I would do it again.

Depending on your normal travel habits you could consider buying the "service card".
