Also, since this all on one ticket should I not be able to check in to my destination (PEK) when I check in with UA in YLW, and therefore avoid the international checkin deadline?

It looks like the Kelowna flight comes in after the Sydney flight but before the Tokyo flight. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that YLW has preclearance in Canada so you'll have to go through at LAX. You'll then be behind the 747 passengers in the immigration line.
