it's actually 'no' on all 4 counts.
Why would you get better seats on AC?
Your AC BP will show UA*G; why do you need your PNR to show display it?
If you fly AC metal why would it count as a UA flight segment?
Unless it is on a 016 ticket the AC segment will most certainly not earn PQM even if booked on a UA codeshare. If you want PQM when flying partner metal you must book a United ticket and then it doesn't matter whether the flight has AC or UA or LH or LX or whatever code.
