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.
As Gus2013 indicates, you should be OK. But if you miss your connection to the 6:45 AM flight to ZRH, AB will rebook you for their 8:50 AM departure and get you to ZRH two hours later than your original schedule.
