It won't be a problem.
Also, the lounge is directly above the train platform in the Satellite Terminal, at which you arrive having taken the shuttle train to Satellite.

Nasi Lemak is part of the menu for sure. Just one thing to remember is that the table (non-buffet) breakfast service doesn’t start until 6:30am

There was a Beef Hamburg (Japanese style beef patty with miso mustard sauce) and Soy Marinated Salmon (with Hokkien Noodles and Kai-Lan [Chinese Kale]) made to order a few weeks ago for lunch/dinner. I believe there were other options (laksa or another noodle dish) as well but I think those are similar to those of Business Class.

Nasi Lemak (same as Business Class side but of course it's plated for you), Kaya (Coconut Jam) Toast with runny eggs for breakfast a few days ago (there was a third option but I forgot that one)

At MNL, JL lounge welcomes eligible OW travellers flying MH. It is much better than the default lounge in every aspect.
However it is only opened during JL departures. Hopefully if more OW flyers use it, JL may recognise it as a revenue stream and extend the opening hours.

Yes, by rules, MH gold let you bring one guest, child over age 2 consider as one guest.
However, sometimes the contracted lounge might unsure if MH gold/OW sapphire/OW emerald lounge access rule. So, you can prepare a screenshot of Enrich gold on lounge access to show to them. This happens to me when I was in Manchester Escape Plus Lounge. However, the staff was very kind enough to make a call to confirm my sapphire status allow me to bring a guest in.

2. Yes correct, the MH Golden Lounge in the Satellite terminal (accessible by train) also functions as arrival lounge so you can go there to take a shower
