United has two versions of 752's with lie flat seats. This version flies internationaly trans-Atlantic flights from the east coast, especially to closer cities in Ireland/Great Britain, premium transcontinental service (p.t.s. or aka PS), some Hawaii flights and occasional hub to hub flights. There are 16 BF seats, 45 E+ seats, and 108 E seats.
16/153 75b https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-75b
--- FIRST
Row 1 has wider footwells but 3" shorter bed length.
Seats 1E/1F may be slightly darker and quieter than 1A/1B, which are more susceptible to galley lights and noise.
--- ECONOMY
All economy seats share power (2 outlets per 3 seats), and have VOD screens in the seat back.
Exit row seats are Row 7ABC, Row 20, and Row 21. Row 20 seats have limited recline. Row 7ABC has "unlimited" leg room, although there's an FA jumpseat facing those seats (probably out of reach of anyone but the tallest person).
Row 8DEF are bassinet seats and also a bulkhead. There is an additional ~6" cut out at the bottom of the bulkhead for extra leg room.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

16/160 75s https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-75s
-- ECONOMY
Exit row seats are Row 7, Row 20, Row 21, and Row 22. Seats 22A and 22F have "unlimited" leg room. Entertainment screen is housed in arm rest. Row 22BC and 22DE have about the same leg room as an E+ seat. These seats do recline.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

No recline on a 9-hour flight from Europe is quite a pain

First bag is already free on TATL flights so unless you need to check a second that's a non-issue. And if you did want to check a second the CC would not have helped anyways.
You can pay for the EconomyPlus seat to get the extra legroom but there are no other extra amenities which come with that seat. LH, AF or BA can all offer you a one-stop Premium Economy flight but none have a non-stop option on Berlin-NYC.

I saw that the flight that United features from Newark to Berlin is a Lufthansa flight. Should I buy the ticket on Lufthansa or United. I can't actually tell who's operating the flight. I just want to get to Berlin directly on something other than Air Berlin. I am so confused.

I have a business first flight booked from AMS to Tampa via IAH using points. The original equipment was 777-200 (long leg).
I just received notification that the flights will now be routed from AMS to Tampa via EWR. The new equipment will be 757-200 (long leg). I am in row 1E & 1F.
The total travel time is the same (just longer layover in EWR).
The only possible alternative is if they would put me on a different flight that uses 767-300.
Same total travel time but just arrives 2 hours later.
Should I be concerned about the differences in comfort?
Any suggestions?

I would be more concerned about the EWR transfer. IAH is a better airport for connections and much less subject to delay.
Can you tell the reason for the change? (My guess would be the IAH-TPA flight schedule changed.)
You could probably transfer through ORD as well, but that's no real improvement IMO.
Same seat design, but it's considerably more spacious in the 772 - 2 inches longer, 2 inches wider.

Many of us prefer the widebody to the single aisle. But it is still a lie-flat seat. 1E and 1F are probably the best seats in that cabin.

Thank you everybody for your responses.
I don't know the reason for the change at this point but can find out if it makes a difference.
I will have a 3 1/2 hour layover in EWR vs 2 hour in IAH. Both original flight # and new flight # are 2 digits. It sounds like there is nothing to do at this point.

Ok. So chose 7c , was perfect. Here is what I Found: row 7 does have unlimited legroom , 7A does have exit door sticking out and it gets freezing on your feet and makes toes numb. 7C is really good , but near galley and gets light from there. Row 8 is good too, lets of knee room , most people will be able to put legs out, there is also a small ( about 10 inch high by 10 inch deep) cutout at bottom of the bulhead. Row 20/21 did not have that much extra legroom as exits are just small doors. Hope that helps

EWR to Berlin
I tried Seat guru but it didn't seem to help with seat selection for the 757-200.
Would any one have a chance to tell me about the premium comfort seat choices? I have a tall spouse and is now crazy about the 3 across seat configuration.
