2) Would I have to check in with Singapore to get my boarding pass, and if so, would 2 hours be adequate?
Thanks!
Bags will be checked through.

Can't help your re boarding passes, but I know UA issued me a boarding pass for Lufthansa (which I later exchanged for a 'proper' LH boarding pass).

Is two hours enough? If it's all on the one ticket then if you miss the connection UA will find you alternative flights (which will usually come out of any available revenue seat). But it may not be on SQ if they are full, and it may not be in the same class if you absolutely have to travel the same day (for example if you have booked F and F is full on all airlines you may end up in business/coach unless you have flexibility))
