Thirdly, is it possible that multiple programs are attached not only to the ticket itself but to the boarding pass upon checkin? Or is that that the number that is shown on the boarding pass does not matter and what matters for crediting is the number that is on the ticket itself?

It might be that it works like CS rep says, that it will unpredictively select one of the programs. But my experience a while back when the function was first introduced was that all the programs listed in MMB were credited. YMMV obviously.
