Also, if I am flying on a Skyteam flight (not Delta), is my Delta number enough to prove I am also a Skyteam Elite member?
Is getting a new Delta card necessary or is my old card sufficient to secure the added benefits?
Thanks,

You can get MQM bonus "jumps" for paying extra for a higher class of ticket, e.g., Y vs L. There is no MQM bonus jump for being Silver, Gold or Platinum.
Your medallion status is on your Delta boarding pass. The card rarely needs to come out of the wallet. If your ticket is on a Delta partner, then status is probably not on the boarding pass. The old card is not dated so it will probably work.
