Thus, we'd be able to avoid the need for a PZ4 block to open for us to clear were we on the same PNR while also having the companions inherit the 1K status?
Yes, assuming you first apply the instrument and then split the PNR.

But, how is the list ordered prior to T-24? Is it just FIFO independent of status based on upgrade request timing for PZ?
The list order is substantially the same for both lists. The only potential difference is ordering within the same status and fare class group. If you are on separate PNRs originally, the companions will be listed according to their status.
