1) What lounge do you recommend in FRA? ...
Unless you have *G status, you can access any of the LH Business Class lounges, just pick the one closes to your depart flight gate.

headphones and amenity kit plus pillow and blanket will be already at your seat. The flight will not have PJs.

5 days prior to travel you will be able to select your departure meal. If available, odd window seats are the most private.

No extra fee.
