Also, any worry about security screening? I believe I arrive "clean" from USA, correct?
Z is the floor above A and the gates can be used by either area.
So yes, you go through passport control as you are switching floors and you'll be in the middle of A.
Arrivals from USA should be clean but this is FRA so YMMV.
