Absolutely they do. The marketing carrier is the carrier on the ticket coupon and they know what they are getting paid for that ticket coupon.
Thus, airlines know the fare value of each ticket coupon the moment the ticket is issued. The backend data for all this is all filed with ATPCO by the airlines.
The ticket stock is irrelevant for this reason - regardless of ticket stock, when a ticket is issued, the proration of the fare across the coupons is known.
The marketing carrier then reports this data in the earn files to whoever the FFP is, if they have an agreement to report such data. AA obviously has agreements with BA/IB to report the data to them and vice versa.

See above for the explanation of how it works.

It doesn't matter who the ticketing carrier is as I stated previously. If it's BA/AA/IB marketed, they will know what the coupon is worth and report/credit accordingly.

That said, I'll be crediting this to BA when I fly in a couple months, so will report back.
Any participating carrier on the ticket can view the fare data. It's not specifically a oneworld thing. You can have a ticket that's got AC, LH and QF on it, issued by AC and AC/LH/QF will all know what their respective coupons are worth.
