Thanks in advance for the help!
I can't answer questions 1-4, but I can tell you that since UA cut out JFK-LHR, I almost only fly SQ when I am heading to Europe. The one exception is when I have a simple JFK-LHR RT, I usually book VS UC.
I find the SQ flight to be at a good time in the evening (9:20PM), so I can have a drink (or 2 or 3), have a nice meal quickly and get 6ish hours of sleep. Arrival at 11AM is nice, and there are easy and good connections should you nee dto go beyond Germany. I reallllly like the return flight, SQ 26, as I land at 10:50AM in NY, very rarely have any queue at Immigration and Customs at JFK and get home to enjoy most of the day.
SQ service in C or F is awesome, and I get my UA miles ^.
I know that LH has more flights at other times, but I am a fan of SQ^^
