Also re: 3), you want to make sure your targeted FF program membership number attached to the reservation you make with partner airlines. Some let you do it online. Some require you to call to add. In any case, MAKE SURE the targeted FF number shows up on your BP when you fly. If not, make the gate agent to add it back and dont walk away until you have a BP showing the targeted FF number on it. This way the posting even at times be delayed, it is painless and automatic. If not, the posting requires you manually send in your BP and request the posting and it will take forever and sometimes get loss in the shuffle.
Other airlines the ratio is 1:1 and you get a 5K bonus when transferring in 20K chunk at a time. Instead of taking whatever pts you need for the award you want, it is better to transfer at 20K chunk so you get the extra 5K bonus.

Sorry for all of the confusion. Yes, continental is not part of OW, I made a mistake when I was typing that, I was in a hurry and at work. I get everything that you guys have said... sorry but I'm not a complete idiot... just new to this. Fortunately, I am a quick learner.
And I AM understanding your answers 100%. I appreciate the help you guys are providing, but it would be great if you kept the negative comments to a minimum. I am sorry if I don't have that much free time to read/learn about this FF stuff because I have a ton of other things going on in my life. That is why I came here, to be educated, not to be ridiculed.
