You will not receive Sky Club lounge access in BOS since you are flying Economy, but you can use the Air France or Virgin lounge.
On KL operated, only the member with status gets preferred seats and seat assignments for free. on DL, should be able to get seats in advance (incl. preferred). I believe bags are the same (additional allowance only for the status holder), but YMMV.
