SkyPriority for travel companions
Will my travel companion receive the same benefits as me, as Flying Blue Gold, when we travel together, e.g. boarding, security etc.? My travel companion is basic member.

It seems, from my experience, you do get the priority boarding if they are with the person who has the status, and the lounge, definitely. The problem is security and that tends to be the sticking point, because the airlines have to pay the security providers (as they do with the lounges) but priority boarding costs them nothing.

you need to be both in the same booking , and it need to be done from your account
Your companion will receive skypriotity on his boarding pass + additional luggage allowance
Lounge can be granted assuming for free assuming you both visit the lounge together (you can bring one guest for free)

Don't count on any skypriority privileges for your travel companion and your expectations might be met or exceeded. Or just book Delta instead of KL/AF, they'll add benefits to multiple pax in your booking.

About priority boarding... that's a whole different story. It's commonly a zoo and SP isn't always (euphemism) enforced. So grabbing both boarding passes with yours on top and entering the SP lane (which might be already filled with the usual bunch lost students and free-riding grandmas anyway) will work 90 % of times. Heck, that's even what check-in agents suggest to do anyway when flying with a non-status pax...

From CDG, I have never had an issue clearing security with a companion. At out stations (and maybe from AMS) it might not be possible, especially when you need to scan your BP.
