You will not need to clear immigration or go landside in DXB as the lounges are airside.
You'll land, collect your boarding pass (if you do not already have it), reclear security, and be in the departure Terminal (T1 for BA). T1 and T3 (EK) are connected (I've walked the length of the terminal several times) and you can go to the lounge and/or wander at will.
At LHR (T5), you can use the BA Galleries First lounge as an OW Emerald/AA EP.
