Yes, no problem at all, especially when the last name is the same. Clerks seem more at ease if you are open when presenting the vouchers and say they are from your husband/colleague/friend's etc. account, as opposed to trying to sneak in vouchers with an obviously unrelated account (which is legal, but there is always some suspicion it was traded etc.)
On a side note, I never got a straight answer about this, but get the feeling hotels get reimbursed by Accor at the face value of the vouchers, not at some heavily discounted rate as when using points at US chains. As a result, the vouchers seem relatively welcome, apart from the extra paperwork they create.
As for household accounts, I am only aware of BA. From an US e-rewards account, the redemption rates into BA and IB are nearly identical, but you'll probably find the $35 monthly cap for BA limiting. If you generate enough e-rewards, better to redeem into both IB and BA (also Avios.com, although redemptions into this partner have been iffy this month - 30 day calendar won't reset), and pool all those avios into one BA household account. While household accounts don't allow transfers, you can get around it with an Avios account, or by inviting/delisting household members at redemption/transfer time.
