As indicated in the thread title, this deal is now dead.

How do I manage my itinerary/check my booking/select seats?

Note that the displayed receipt will be incorrect ($5 higher than actual) owing to a programming error. The taxes/fees shown includes the original $5 WF booking fee. Do not worry about this; it does not change the amount you are actually billed.
How many miles will I earn on United from my flight?
Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

MileagePlus (UA) earning charts for
Will I do better if I credit to another *A carrier instead?
Maybe.

Miles&More (LH, LX,...) earning charts for
  • United Airlines (UA) (K, L, T fares earn 50%, 25% for flights in 2014)
  • Lufthansa (LH) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Swiss (LX) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Air Canada (AC) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)

Here's the master list of partner earning charts for Aegean (A3) and here's the list for Turkish Airlines (TK).
Are there other FlyerTalk members flying when I am?
Quite possibly! There is a meetup thread on the CommunityBuzz forum. Post if you would like to participate.

Not ticketed after 1hr. no CC charge

It has been an hour and a half, and I still don't see any charge to the credit card, and the united website still doesn't say that it is ticketed. Is everyone else's doing the same? I thought I saw someone say theirs was ticketed within minutes.

Most are quoting 90 minutes to ticket. Stay calm and don't call! :-)

I hope you didn't literally CA! Hah.

But seriously, I am just not seeing W fares. I understand you can scroll down the list of results to find pricier fares, but none of those are on UA. All the UA fares are pricing into something less than W.

NO!! I had a K class on a previous ticket and I HUCA about 8 times till someone changed it.

Put it after the first name in the same field. It seemed to translate correctly when I view the reservation on UA.com.
