I've done some searching but haven't found much on the following:

1) How does United C class compare to NH business New Style? (LAX/NRT)

Don't know, never flown NH transpacific.

3) Ditto for food, service, entertainment

I've flew NH between NRT and PVG in C in September. It wasn't all that impressive in C. NH usually beats UA in service. Seats and entertainment are slightly better on UA. I've never found NH's food to be very good.

I'd take whatever is quickest - I wouldn't go out of my way to fly NH NRT-PVG.
