Very possibly via PEK on UA7614, codeshare of Air China 985.

There's zero chance that's going to happen. A wet-lease (ie, CA plane + CA crew) would at least be possibly (if unheard of). But UA staff crewing a foreign airlines plane - especially for a type of plane UA no longer flies - just isn't going to happen.
