Who you buy a ticket from may affect who you go to for changes, but it won’t affect earning miles.

No, AA can’t check in your bags when your first segment is operated by AS. You always check in with the operating carrier (or primary marketing carrier in the case of Eagle/Connection/Express flights) of your first segment.
AS not following the baggage allowance and fees listed on your sticker receipt is against the law. You should get a refund. It’s AS who incorrectly charged you the fees, so I think the refund should be from them.
(AA IT routinely places the incorrect bag fees on tickets in cases like this — USD0.00 is incorrect — but that’s for AA and AS to work out, not you. What’s printed on the eticket receipt is legally binding for all carriers on the ticket.)

I just booked an AA marketed, but AS operated flight from SAN to SEA for later this year. Receipt shown no free checked bags, but no fee for either first, or second checked bags (Plat and Plat Pro on the reservation and this is typical to see when I book Y on AA). It will be interesting to see what happens come bag drop time at the AS desk.
Can I have AA switch me to the AS flight closer to my original departure time, even though they do not offer it as a codeshare flight?
edit:- just noticed that my AA PNR no longer exists, but the AS one is still their, albeit with the new flight time

AA can only change your flight to another codeshare flight.

Thanks. My flight is not until October, so I can wait to see if the other AS operated flights for that day become available as codeshares in the interim. I haven’t accepted any changes yet, so could theoretically still cancel at any point if something alternative came up as the schedule change is just shy of 4hrs.
AS must have loaded a fairly significant schedule change last night, along with some steepish price increases, as their “X” inventory (basic saver fare) is now more than my original AA codeshare fare, by about 30%.
I was toying with cancelling the flight for a refund and just going with Delta in F just to stick it to the Admirals Club and gain access on my travel date (Oct 31) whilst waiting for the flight, but then I noticed that AS switched from T1 to T2 at SAN at the end of Jan this year, so I would now have had access either way!

How to claim uncredited miles flown on Alaska Airlines
I flew on Alaska on 6/27, choosing to credit my AAdvantage account. I confirmed I entered the right number.
Alaska says it was credited to American. However, no such credit shows on my AA account.
Is it too early to create a complaint? How should I proceed, with Alaska or with AA?

Unless you booked those as AA codeshare flights, you get nothing

If you didn't, AS flights don't earn AAdvantage miles.

Good to know, I don't know why Alaska allows you to enter an AA FF# if they won't credit you.
As I understand it, it is impossible to even book an AS codeshare on AA.com anymore.
It used to work in the past, I will call Alaska and see what can be done.

The AS website let's you add the AA number so you can get AA seats, etc when you book AA tickets through them.
I don't know about paid tickets, but I have used it to book awards on AA flights. To do that, I do not tell it the member using the miles is flying.
Then you book AS member with the same name and birthdate, of course, and add the AA number later to get seat assignments from AA
