3) should be booked on ANA or United or Doesn't matter for Mileage plus account
1. Can't do a transit between NRT and HND currently; entry to Japan is still restricted for most
2. You can't stay overnight at NRT (the airport closes) but the dayrooms are apparently open for a daytime nap. You can stay airside at HND, but the hotel is closed.
3. Book via ANA if you want to maximize the PQP you'll receive for crediting to MileagePlus. (5150 PQP should be what you earn plus at least 31k RDM.

Put simply, unless you can get a short same-day connection at the same airport, I wouldn't bother transiting Japan. Tues/Thur/Sun are the only outbound days that have good timings, which is why I usually end up on SQ
