Most airlines explicitly do NOT award miles for a second seat.
It very much depends on the program/airline.

As for claiming the second seat in another program, the ticket is generally booked as LastName/ExtraSeat rather than LastName/FirstName so making a claim for that seat will be difficult. Airlines generally do not permit the same passenger to hold two bookings under their real name on the same flight.
