As for the boarding pass, I assume you should get it in SEA...
However, for the baggage, I'm pleased to tell you that you will NOT have to claim your luggage. As a ramp agent who routinely handles this exact flight at YVR...we transfer those bags via the belt system. So no need to collect your stuff.
I have completed my trip and you (and the others) are correct. My bag was transferred at YVR without me ever seeing it. I did have to get my Cathay boarding passes in Vancouver, though; for some reason, the AS agent was not able to print them in Seattle.
