Also nothing they could do about not being able to check in until the airport so we’re stuck there. ...
This
wiki may help in handle maintain benefits when the PNR is split at the gate for upgrades. It is from
Premier benefits for companions on separate tickets, " off-pnr " [Consolidated]
The bag benefit shuld been possible, sometime you have to ask the agent to check the PNR history to see the split occur. Contract agents (aka no real UA empolyees) that handle bag check may be misinformed.

At any rate they’re not all under 12, so we won’t all be able to go through pre-check this time.
This is a new twist as it probably only applies to kids older than 12 without their own PreCheck.
