There are no "preferred" seats on ANA - once at NRT, inside the lounge there is a concierge who can assign exit row and bulkhead seats if they are still available. As mentioned, 1K means nothing on other airlines, it's only *G that carries any privileges, which are the same regardless of whether you are UA Premier Gold or Global Services.
