The next question, though, is if I fly with American and use my Qantas FF number - as they are one alliance, would I receive the full points I would if I used my American Airlines FF number or would it be reduced?
As post 1352, you will earn QF points flying an AA flight
You do not always earn 100% flying a QF flight number on QF aircraft. No different with other airlines
Earning rate depends on the class.

25% earn rate in a fpp where they can be used is far better than 75% earn rate in a ffp that will expire before you get enough to use.
It is not a good idea to be a member of many ffps'. You never get enough miles/points/avios to be useful. They can expire.
FF miles/points are not equal between ffp's . For example QF is poor compared to AA (earn/burn).
