FRA connection - 2:15 should be fine
There is a thread or two on the miles and more (LH) forum, but 2:15 should be fine even on a bad day. Navigating FRA can always be a little bit of a headache, but I'd say a little over an hour is generally fine. I've made connections that were just over 30 minutes due to delay and even one of the two bags made that connection too (a bike box, nonetheless).

let me just say, if you at some point find yourself following directions to another terminal, and everyone is going through a doorway to stairs, where the door looks like it's more suited to a janitor's closet -- take the elevator.

Not a problem, you have plenty of time. Your bags are automatically transferred so no need to go to baggage claim. Last time I did this route, we couldn't get our FRA>CDG BP at SFO, so went to the LH (Lufthansa) Senator Club, showed our *G and UA BP for entrance, and then they issued the FRA>CDG BP at the main desk. Easy.
Just keep a copy of your whole Itinerary on your person in case you need to cross any security (ie Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, etc) before you get that BP.
