Yes. For OW & AA partners, like EY, you will earn AA miles as per the AA charts.

Will depend on the airline and fare booking class. Low cost fares can earn little or even nil.
www.wheretocredit.com gives a guide for redeemable ff miles (but check the AA web site).
With a non USA address you may be exempt from the AA $ spend requirement for status. Check the AA web site
