Last time I flew AF short haul in Y (maybe a year ago), I was able to select a seat before checkin, and IIRC it was a feature for those with sufficient status. (Maybe Platinum or STE+?) Not sure if that's still a thing, though.

A few years ago, W fares booked in front of the curtain but behind J, but they got rid of that when they redid the short haul products. You'll be in Y unless you're on a mixed cabin itinerary (ie: you buy short haul J), get an op up, or connect to a flight with a W product (which isn't short haul).

There's no "just barely" or "technically", it is international travel, you are by definition changing countries. The laws of your arrival country are different than your departure country. This is important in many cases, eg (without being political here) a same sex marriage performed in the Netherlands is no longer recognized when you land in Poland, even though you didn't go through border checks when you arrived.
