How hard is it to combine reservations with my wife?
My wife and I plan to stay 3 nights at an IC in the summer. I have 1 Chase free night and she has 2 free nights from the recent ITN promo. If I book my night and she books her 2 nights immediately afterward with a notation to combine the reservation, how confident can I be that the hotel will honor that so we stay in the same room all 3 nights? I'm talking about one if the Tokyo hotels.

90% if you make sure you book the same room type for both. Put notes in both reservations that you have x stay in this name and y stay in this name. It wouldn't hurt to email 7-10 days out.
Be sure to mention when checking in. The reservations may not be able to combine reservations, but they can be noted/blocked together.

To make matters more confusing, I'm Plat Amb while my wife is just Plat from the Chase card. I know the Tokyo ICs don't give much to Amb on reward stays, but I'd at least get water and a small gift. How would the hotel handle this?

i wouldn't worry, you've done the right thing and booked yours first, have you checked re the Tokyo properties re whether they give benefits on reward stays? i recall reading one was good, and one wasn't so good, re club etc, you may want to check the most recent news on those threads.

Assuming that all the nights are award nights and the same room type , then just inform the hotel at check in and there will be no issue just spending all 4 nights in the same room
