Yes,
as UA states
MileagePlus Premier members, Star Alliance Gold members and qualifying MileagePlus cardmembers who purchase their tickets with their card will receive standard checked bag benefits when checking in with United for flights operated by United or United Express.

Yes, some agents may required the *G be on the reservation to get the bag, some will not. It will require a manual override of the computer if the *G is not on the reservation. The is no clear rule statement either way.
