Also if flying on BA on this route can I earn AA miles or BA miles only?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated - thanks
I will cross post in OneWorld forum - hope that's okay

It's not ok to cross post!
You won't be earning AA miles for the TATL (transatlantic sector) unless you fly it on AA. If on BA, no miles at all and just a few miles for the LON-KBP. I don't know if AA codeshares to KBP, if it does than getting on the codeshare will earn you miles as if the flight was operated by AA. I would also check if KBP is operated from LHR and not LGW cuz the transfer is not convenient.
You won't be able to use AA miles to upgrade BA in any case. Apart from BA miles you could use AsiaMiles, I guess that's it.
