Its an economy LONE* or a business DONE*. You cannot mix and match. On some routes where business D class is not offered you fly economy, but do not get any $$ back:- such is life.

Order does not matter. You just need to sign & up and pay before starting the challenge on a flight. As long as your AA ff number is in the reservation its OK. But keep all the physical boarding passes until they post
If you buy a DONE6 and do a AA Plat challenge you get Plat quicker.
