Yes you do. (Please, American folks, correct me if I am wrong, because AA has plenty of strange rules and exceptions.) As both carriers belong to Oneworld, AAdvantage and Iberia Plus cardholders get miles / points, accumulate segments to match elite status, and so on, both in IB-coded or AA-coded flights. Identify yourself as an AAdvantage cardholder at the time of making the purchase (it's the safest way to have your miles credited) and check that in your boarding pass your FFP number appears bellow your name.
The difference in price for business class IAD to MAD is $700 if I book it on Iberia vs. book the AA codeshare.
I didn't get if AA-coded flights were +700$ or -700$. Go for the lowest price. However, if IB gives you the lowest, I'd buy the ticket through iberia.com, since you'll have the opportunity to select the seat you want (only for Business Plus travellers, so... J tickets), and moreover there is a field for AAdvantage cardholders identification. If not, bear in mind that you can already check-in through iberia.com and print your boarding pass one day (or two?) prior to the departure, which will allow you to select the seat (only if the issuer of the ticket didn't assign one for you).
