I have experience from this kind of multi-city bookings in the USA where the airline was treating the flights as a connection. For example check-in was automatically offered for both flights at once. I would imagine LH is the same but unfortunately can't give a 100% answer.
You can always cancel within 24h of purchase so no risk in trying to book the multi-city option and seeing if it goes through.
No. The European system differs from the US one. The OP searched for 2 separate bookings. A multi leg in Europe unites both flights into married segments. Therfore the price difference. If the OP would book both legs separately, he would get 2 PNRs.
