Lederhosen,
1.Curtained off cabin seats count as being seperate from cabin and cockpit. So this then becomes a rest area.
2. Cat 1 autolands are perfectly normal. I never had an autopilot disconnect on one in 8 years of 737 flying. The 200 feet DH is there to cover for deviations at low altitude (no low vis procedures) that you can either correct by going manual or to go around. In fact our company strongly suggest to make autolands with vis below 2500m and cloudbase below 500 ft. (not mandatory though)
