Group 1 is supposed to be those with the extra space seats at the front who have also paid for overhead bin space. Perhaps you managed to get one of the premium seats through luck and then the Vueling system gives you Group 1 to ensure that you find overhead bin space.
The IB+ codeshares are supposed to come with checked bag + overhead bin bag + underseat bag but Group 2 boarding. IIRC But to be honest it's been awhile since I booked VY as an IB codeshare since the value isn't there for me...
It might be a glitch somehow as initially it's not showing any checked bag. I first selected a regular front row seat (I think you get to choose both front and rear seats with Iberia Avios) and it tells me I have no checked bag. I then did the online check in (selected the same seat) and those "perks" appeared.
I used Avios for Vueling only beacuse I accidentally transferred extra MR and I see no use of Avios in the near future so I thought might will just burn it. Cash price is around 113EUR and I paid 5250+67EUR. Around 1cpp, bad but not to bad I guess.
