Also, I have chosen a free exit row seat now, does that mean there is a likelihood they assign a seat for my sister next to my chosen exit seat at check-in time T-24, or perhaps move us both together to another pair of random seats?
Yes, the system will know you're together and if possible will give you seats together. However, if you've picked an exit row this is significantly less likely to be possible as they are likely to be snapped up by other people first.
The real main benefit of TCP is to allow anyone (system or person) reading your booking during irrops to know you're not on your own.
