You can play the HUACA game with SK but typically the straight forward pragmatic approach that does not involve humans on the SK end is more likely to lead to the results you want.
For the second question, my guess is not but are you on one or two bookings? Are you having any issues selecting seats with the one infant added? Its a valid point and planes have a layout for this in coach but I'm not sure how infant oxygen masks work in J.
Option 3 is to show up at the airport early and find a kind female agent at the C desk. Your treatment will be vastly different when you find a person that understands you're in C and the female agents are more forgiving when it involves children.
