MEX-NRT arrives 6am, NRT-EWR departs 5pm, it's fine (barring misconnect risks). enjoy the NH Suites lounge (only one open right now)
Can you book a different flight which arrives to EWR at approximately the same time and meet her at baggage claims?
UA78 seems to be arriving at Terminal B, but that's no guarantee (3:45pm, though it can be 30-40 min early)
OP will need to arrive from a int'l flight as well in the same terminal (due to customs/bags requirement)
nearest flight would be UA MEX-EWR arriving 1:15pm, but that's been arriving 50min early, and loitering at customs would give you strange looks (really really dont recommend doing that)
or B6 SDQ-EWR arriving 3:28pm, but that's often late
too bad UA doesn't operate NRT-IAD now - wife would arrive midfield concourse (bags not as complicated there), OP can meet airside and fly to EWR
for me, i would definitely recommend looking at arrivals concierge service over flying EWR-MEX-NRT-EWR. oh well
