Lounge access is a OW benefit. (exceptions in USA for AA AS)
Don't know for MH, but would be true on QF for seat selection
OW "preferred seat" is not defined and varies by airline. Have never seem anything written on what "preferred seat" means by airline

Access to preferred or pre-reserved seating*
...
*In accordance with the individual policy of the oneworld airline operating the flight.
