Thank You,
No, you will not. You must fly EY operated flights as AA marketed / codeshares to earn AAdvantage EQM / EQP.

Travel ticketed as an American Airlines marketed flight (booked as an AA flight number) and operated by Etihad Airways will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA mileage accrual chart. Beginning May 1, 2015, travel between North America and Abu Dhabi (AUH) on Etihad Airways operated and marketed flights are also eligible for AAdvantage base mile accrual. Link.
For convenience and comfort, I'd consider flying DFW-HKG on AA (the hard product in AA 777-323ER Business is very similar to CX) and onward to Chennai on CX. It might cost less, to boot.

Ah, I see skunker has posted a very nice solution.
