If you can't get BP through OLCI of course it's mute.
If you show your Skywards card at check-in the agent will try to update your number, see your AS number and ask which you prefer.
Sorry i am a rookie in FFP. So the reliable way you would suggest is to quote my EK membership (Silver) when i book the return ticket through OTA, print the BP with skywards membership on it, have access to the lounge and enjoy the benefits, then go to a counter to change the miles acquiring partner to AS after i exit the lounge?
