Will the problem of entering through security at a terminal my gate isn't located at arise?

Say you want to go to the lounge and show them your credentials. If they give you a hard time, ask to speak with a supervisor. The rules permit going to a lounge in other terminals.

Conde Nast Takes a Look Inside Lufthansa's Swanky New Lounge at EWR

The 5,000 square foot Business and Senator Lounge looks quite stylish in these photo slides: http://www.cntraveler.com/daily-trav...newark-airport

I want that picture of the A380 wing over the Alps on my office wall

It's a nice new lounge. Seems to have furniture and design similar to some of their Business Class (*A) lounges in Frankfurt.

I assume that's photoshopped -- both passenger levels are above the wing, right?

It looks nice enough, but swanky isn't the adjective I would use. Also, I don't like the bar stools. LH has been using them everywhere and I find them uncomfortable.

As far as I can see, Lufthansa have here continued their sad neglect of the interests and needs of handicapped passengers. As elsewhere, their chairs in these photos are too high, too narrow or too low for many handicapped pax who just long to get out of their wheelchairs (if US wheelchairs, invariably uncomfortable to dangerous) and move onto a firm, sturdy, relatively armless chair.

Mind you, LH are so consistently mindless (or perhaps dismissive) on this issue that I have come to expect no better.

What Addis Abeba (no lifts operating), Frankfurt, CDG, IAD, Orly and Munich are to wheelchair transfer facilities (seemingly systemically brutal), Lufthansa is to handicapped pax' welcome in lounges. I avoid all the above-mentioned as far as possible.

Like others say, swanky isn't the right word -- at most I'd call it slick, but even that's a stretch. Looks like a corporate cafeteria IMO.

Compared to the concourse, then yes it's swanky.

Compared to the lounge that LH had been using in EWR, I would call it a quite significant improvement.
