No it’s only on United metal. Star alliance silver does not get you extra baggage allowance but I believe star alliance gold does. If you check your bag on a United flight though it’ll be fine until final destination. Will likely get charged checking in on a partner

You’ll be fine
Fine print says United aircraft I believe. You would need to look at the alliance status benefits for that other airline.
No. There is no free baggage for Star Alliance silver status. You are limited to what the carrier says. If you had star alliance gold, you would generally get 1 additional bag at 50lbs (not an additonal 50 lb allowance). Thus if you have only 1 bag at 70lbs, you would still need to pay an overweight fee unless you upgraded to business class.
Why is anyone traveling with a 50+ pound bag anyways? I travel for weeks at a time well under 50
The sweet metal is made out of is probably 50% of the weight
