Also, can the United confirmation number be used for check in on the Lufthansa flight? Or is it necessary to contact Lufthansa to obtain a confirmation/booking number to check in and obtain a seat assignment?

Sorry for the newbie question, but this is the first time I have encountered this situation.

Thanks
You should be able to call Lufthansa within a day or two of buying the ticket and reserve your seat.
