I detest middle bulkhead in any form as I get sick of this whole "cut-through" thing. Best ever was some guy that started doing "laps" of the plane, first time he went through I let it go, second time I refused to move my legs and explained that he can just walk up and down as it is not a public thoroughfare and the net result is the same anyway. I'd only take the middle bulkhead if it was the last option.

I always makes me upset that the GF meal in business, PE and even when when UA had First class international is the same as regular coach meal with a little extra.
On the other hand Air Canada, LH and KLM makes an effort to serve a better Gluten Free experience in flight
LH first class was the best, followed by Jetblue Mint.

While I haven't sat in 22 to compare, my observation is that it clearly contacts the rear bulkhead wall when reclined, but there isn't a visible difference in angle of recline. So I think it reclines fully, but only barely.

Assuming a sticker-type upgrade, no. The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable in the event of voluntary change or cancellation.

Will be on 862 HKG-SFO some time in the far future with 3 of us in PP. Will be flying out on a Sunday, so PP likely to fill up.
Currently have 20G for myself and 21K and L for my parents (bulkhead sides are taken right now). I thought about being in the same row as them, but then read that bulkhead has a bit more room on the 77W, so people in middle can get out without bothering people, so I think that's the most optimal setup I can do.
Given my scenario (3 people), you think that's probably the best plan?

Depends on how much you would rather be across the aisle from your parents. Those are probably the 3 best seats remaining the cabin, yes.

If I'm booked in E+ on a 777-200ER still showing the old configuration, will my seats in what would be the PP section stick if I end up with a reconfigured 772 with PP?

Reports on this are very mixed; I would not count on it. Anything on the pmUA 772 seatmap needs to be watched relentlessly for swaps.
