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.

Read the thread. They aren't viewable on ITA. Search directly on the travel agency's website.

ITA won't help you. It will show prices with the intended fuel surcharges. One needs to search on the site. For specific city pairs, there is a fare calendar.

EWR-MXP April 14-22 4 PAXs for $672 ai - HOLY S#$@!

Thank you OP!!!

Now the hard part - telling the wife (who doesn't like surprises) about the trip!

Kids have off that week and will only miss one day of school.

Here's hoping everything tickets!

Note: One hour after booking, no pending charge to AMEX, reservation still shows as "not ticketed" on UA - Fingers crossed!

UA: EWR-Europe from $370 return

After this tickets do EU guidelines force them to honor or is that just in US?

Wonder if this was factored into united's $2B of Net Income improvement they were promising during their investor day

I don't think UA will be responsible for this.

Should have to honor tickets booked originating from the US per US Dept of Transportation rules.
