Anyway, since I booked them separately, they wouldn't seat us
together. How difficult will it be come trip time to get two seats
together?

If the ticket type is "GNER Advance" (or thereabouts) than you're only
allowed to sit in the reserved seat. GNER are notorious arseholes on
this point. If it's an ordinary ticket (Saver Return or whatever) you
can sit where you like.

Are there usually open seats, are people willing to move a bit, how flexible is it?

Most Leeds trains start there, and all GNER trains start at King's
Cross, so if you get there a little bit early and head for Coach H
(which is kept unreserved) you'll be fine.
