Prices of additional baggage pieces: 100.00 USD up to 50 pounds/23 kilograms and up to 62 linear inches/158 linear centimeters**




Its a stopover - he's stopping there for 18 hrs.
Anything under 24 hours is usually called connection...

I always hesitate to wade into these baggage rule discussions because the DOT and IATA rules are so vaguely worded, but it seems that the UA rule (1 free bag) is going to apply here because UA is the first carrier on the ticket.
LH usually has clear baggage allowances on their e-tickets, for each segment. At least all my tickets I can source over the past five years have that...

Yes, it is connection.
