What is the mileage required for emirates awards is the same for all other continental partners to the same destinations.

It's probably the same for the other partners... you can just check their websites.

It is the same. I tried for a 120,000 mileage award (business to India.) I have got a combo of Tus to JFK via SLC on Delta, then Emirates from JFK to BOM, and return on DL from BOM to FRA, then to AMS on KLM , then CO to EWR and TUS. Emirates was not available on the return but the bottom line is that you can use any combo of airlines on these awards. I guess this is the advantage of SKYTEAM. The disadvantage is that awards on NW have increased from 80,000 in WBC to 100,000 ( to Europe) for example.
