- Was UA truthful about the inability to check bags through from HND to my destination given my 15 hour layover at SFO?
Yes (if overnight) -- standard UA policies. Some agents will do this but it would be a violation of policy

Yes, go left (connecting flights) not right on exiting customs -- but you can not check bags more than 4 hours prior to departure, so that was not an option,

No
