Seawolf - have never had to ask United. They seem to do it automatically whether first flight is coach or C. Have checked in on 5 different * carriers this year who all also apply their own specific priority tags. Nearly all those flights were as a 1P, but to other * carriers, 1P and 1K are the same status.
Premex yes 3 pieces to and from USA, as the vanilla allowance is two. I don't think a * Gold travelling to * destinations or * carriers to/from other than USA gets 3 pieces - certainly not in coach. As I recall the entitlement is ONE extra piece of checked on top of the vanilla ONE piece allowance in coach.
