To Challenge or Not to challenge?

I am going on my 1st ever MR next weekend. I need help determining if I should do a challenge.

The question I have is this: On the Wiki AA challenge page it has a sample email stating that Trans-Atlantic Q fares do not earn challenge points. Does that apply only to the leg that is actually Trans-Atlantic, or all legs that are Q? Here is my intineray..

MSP-DFW-ORD-FRA (all legs are Q)
FRA-DFW-STL-MSP (all legs are O)

So will I get challenge points for MSP-DFW-ORD on the way there?

If not, I still would get points for the O legs (return) of the trip correct?

If I do not earn points on any of the Q legs I still may do a gold challenge because I have 2 more MR's in May that would get me to at least Gold.

One last question, with DBEQM you do earn points for all eligible miles and the bonus DBEQM correct?

Thank You
