The 737 will standardize to 176 seats over time, with Main Cabin seeing 30" pitch with new new Rockwell Collins - BE Aerospace Meridian Seats (already in the 737 MAX 8s). See here:
AA to install new seats in 737-800s and A321s but add more to Main Cabin. Moot point, as FAA requires one FA per 50 seats (and iirc the seat blocking scheme may have failed to meet FARs).
I have never had an FA refuse a box of unopened chocolate, and at times its resulted in a "better seat"
