I'm worried that if I add my United MP number while checking in, that info will go into records for the round trip and I won't be able to claim BAEC points for the return US Air flight.

Thoughts?

Given you don't have any status on either airline and nothing to lose by not having a FF account attached, your strategy sounds good and minimizes problems.
