Tier renewal is based on Qpoints accrued over the past 12 or 24 months. So in February 2025, you will need to have earned either 540 Qpoints in the previous 12 months (from Feb 2024 to Feb 2025) or 1080 Qpoints in the previous 24 months (Feb 2023 to Feb 2025). Only Qpoints earned in the preceding 12 or 24 months (27 Feb 2025 in your case) count towards renewal, so if you've earned all the 1080 Qpoints after Feb 2023, your tier will be renewed in Feb 2025 (valid till Feb 2026) even if you do not earn any new Qpoints till then.

I have been wondering if I should have been more strategic on when I credited to QR vs. another program - assuming it's a look back system on tier status?
You will get 10 extra Qcredits for every 100 Qpoints earned over 600 Qpoints during a membership year. So if you've earned 1000 Qpoints from Feb 2024 to Feb 2025, you will get extra 40 Qcredits when your tier renews in Feb 2025.

No. Only 1 FFP is attached to your flight itinerary, which makes sense considering it's a 'loyalty programme'.
