I'd assume I will have to get my bags and re-check them in DUS plus go through passport control.

Would it be better to carry on bags?

PLus I show I am on flight AB8524 but do not see that number on EF or AB website. Leaves at 6:45am.

The system in Europe is different than in the US or Canada. You do not collect and recheck your bags, just go through passport control in DUS. Your bags will be transferred to the ZRH flight, and you go through customs there.

Your flight 8524 shows up under flight information on the AB website...
