Polaris lounge access wouldn't be in the cards even if you were on one ticket, since you don't have a long-haul flight (see
Business Class lounge access in EWR)
As for baggage allowance, if I were you I would expect to get Y allowance (according to the individual ticket, which when booked via partners can differ from AC's normal allowances with their own fare brands), and unless you have AC status I wouldn't expect them to bend the rules much (if at all).
