there are no LAX showers except those in lounges
you can go airside T2 to airside Bradley on a DL operated bus - they don't check your boarding pass to use this service
you can enter any terminal at LAX with any same-day boarding pass departing from LAX
you may need a trip to Bradley landside checkin to get a NZ boarding pass
consider your strategy if checking luggage, doubt NZ has an agent at T2 customs exit for baggage recheck if not tagged all the way to AKL at LHR

You can go back to T2 to use VS Clubhouse with your NZ boarding pass. But the key is getting the NZ boarding pass... you'll need to check in with NZ somehow. I'm not sure if NZ does mobile check in and this is extra complicated if you have checked luggage. So in all likelihood, you probably need to walk to TBIT with you luggage to check in, and then walk back to T2 to clear TSA, or clear TSA in TBIT (which has no pre-check!) and take the DL shuttle to T2. Either way, this is about an 1 hour ordeal if you are quick on your feet.
Alternatives are to use the priority pass lounge (if you have access) in TBIT, which is the KE lounge.

TSA actually responded to a tweet of mine a couple of weeks ago and apparently TBIT does have PreCheck now:
Not that it matters in this case since NZ doesn't participate in PreCheck.
TSA Pre✓® lanes are available in the TBIT terminal of LAX. Generally, the hours are 10am - 1pm and 7pm - midnight.

So, I am arriving next week @ LAX (TBIT) with LX @ 420p. My next flight is with UA from T7 at around 845p. Given that the immigration lines are not crazy and I am done fast, could I still use the *A lounge @ TBIT? Or I should move fast to T7 United Club (I am *A gold). Thanks

You have almost 4.5 hours so plenty of time to make the connection. If you haven't been to Star lounge at TBIT, I highly recommend it. You will be there for golden hour and sunset so find a seat on the outdoor patio (should be reasonably warm) and enjoy the sun and the views.

The UA club in T7 is not too shabby either but Star lounge has better food. If you time your walk from TBIT to T7 right, you can probably hit both.

Once you clear immigration and customs, you will go up the ramp to street level. Turn right and head towards to TSA check point at the arrival level. Once you clear TSA, you can go upstairs which will lead you back to TBIT. Star lounge is a short walk away on the 6th level.

The walk from TBIT to T7 air side is about 20 minutes if you are a reasonably fast walker. I've never actually walked all the way myself by I've done T6 to TBIT a few times. Just follow the signs closely so you don't accidentally exit the secured area. It involves a few detours and level changes.

Priority Pass lounge access from T7
My aunt and uncle have a 5-hour transit at LAX T7, transferring from YVR to MEL.
The Priority Pass website suggests there are accessible lounges in T2, T6 and the Tom Bradley.
Will they be able to move between terminals to access any of these lounges during their transit?

Terminal 6 and Terminal 7 (plus Terminal 8 if the YVR happens to arrive there) are connected by a 2nd floor hallway within the secured area. 12-14 minute maximum walk from the furthest points.
The Alaska Airlines lounge in Terminal 6 is a Priority Pass provider. It's pretty mediocre, but is open late enough to allow your relatives to stay there until Melbourne boarding.
