Thank you for your help. I imagine this has been dealt with in the past, but I couldn't find anything conclusive after having done a search.
UA should (probably) be able to assign a seat if you call them. They should also be able to tell you your UA record locator, which should (probably) allow you to manage it yourself. The only wildcard would be if you have a codeshare -- an LH flight number on your UA-operated flight. That can throw a wrench into the situation. I'm not sure how well UA's systems do (or don't do) with codeshares -- just a general warning.
