Not 100% on the address, but I'd assume that a new AA account would be set up if the addresses don't match between your existing AA account and the MBNA account.
As for the mortgage, depends on your level of borrowing elsewhere, how many searches you've had recently and if you've taken out any other products recently - I took out a new CC just before my last mortgage application and they didn't care, but most people suggest avoiding applications just before a mortgage app. However, this offer ends tomorrow...!
