lol you'll be fine I've been doing the same thing the past few months. Go early and go straight to an agent who can assist with checking you in all the way to GUM; don't use the kiosk. It will take a little more effort on their part, but not much. In fact you will not be able to board your EWR-NRT flight with out the UA Rep verifying youre all "documents cleared" in NRT - in your case which will be your NRT-GUM flight. When you land in NRT, stay seated on the plane until the UA NRT Agents call for all transit passengers to deplane, and proceed to your next gate, which has been number 33 as of late. Enjoy and safe travels.
ETA - if the agent at the regional airport is unable to assist you (she should be able to though), go and visit the customer service desk and they can assist.

Back to the original question, I add that checking in at the airport the day before is a good idea. Also, on departure day I would get to the original airport early as well.
UA in NRT has purposely held UA 197 a few times already in January for "Transit" passengers. I guess UA does not want to deal with stranded transit pax in NRT; better option is to hold UA197 and get them on their way.
