Yes. Miles & More was treating A like a three-class discount first fare, even though it was two-class first domestically. That won't happen with the retirement of F and A booking codes, and I'm sure they'll renegotiate the earnings table when UA introduces actual Premium Plus fares.

1 - Looks that way, as multiple people, including me, have been able to select the former F seats on a business class ticket; UA is no longer offering a separate F cabin, and they apparently haven't blocked those seats for pre-assignment. (There's always a risk that the seat assignments won't stick, however).
2 - Most likely, although I think we'll know more in the next few days.
