US's current partnership with A3 has nothing do with *A (except historically). It's just an individual airline partnership:

Since the partnership has nothing to with *A, you can't get *A/*G benefits from it.
Every airline that's in an alliance has some partners outside that alliance. But except for very rare exceptions (such as AS with both AA and DL), there are no benefits that transfer between such non-alliance partners.
And since US's partner list is quite different from AA's, and the US FFP program is folding into the AA FFP program (rather than vice versa), I'm not sure how long that partnership will continue (since AA itself doesn't partner with A3).
