Yes, Qantas metal to Brisbane and Emirates metal afterwards, on an Emirates ticket.

No I did not pay for a better seat (nor did I do a preassignment, which is not possible for the codeshare) on the QF operated segment.

Emirates does not let me check in online from their site because the first flight is operated by Qantas. Unless better advised I think I will indeed follow the strategy of checking in at the airport. Though I am still worried that the EK seat assignments might also be lost then as the check-in will be done by QF (EK does not have a representation in Canberra).
