I predict that UA will then insist on trying to charge her the $838 for a one-way ticket SFO-EWR and a cancellation charge for her unused return ticket, because UA breeched its contract of carriage.
Seat requests are non-contractual.

ADA does not apply to airlines, ACAA does. ACAA can only be enforced by filing an administrative complaint with the DOT.
