So I think I answered your side question to the best of my ability, but I can't answer your first question, sorry.
I've always wondered how automated seat assignments at T-24 work. The system has to give someone the preferred seat, no? Sometimes when I check in (as *G), I get one automatically and other times I do not.
Surely they are not all blocked off and given to GTEs at the podium right?
