Four of the six legs are on TAP metal while the other two are UA and JetBlue codeshares respectively.
My questions are:

3. If I book this flight specifying my MP number, what will my MP miles credit be for this itinerary? 70% for all flights? Will I get mileage credit on JetBlue also, as it's a TAP codeshare?
Thanks for any insight.
The mileage rates of 40% and 70% you are seeing are for crediting those fares into TAP's mileage program. The rates are likely to be different for crediting to United's Mileage Plus. For that, you have to know the fare code that will be booked, and how that will map into United's crediting scheme for TAP, which you can investigate here:
