AA flight operated by QF, which q points will I get
I am taking flight AA 7380 from BNE to LAX. I booked it through American Airlines, but Qantas operates it. Will QR calculate the Qpoints for American or Qantas?

In the Oneworld alliance ff earnings are based on the marketing carrier (flight number) when an eligible operating carrier. So will earn Qpoints as the AA table.

Yep, should be AA. I just flew a JFK-NRT-CGK routing on JL but with AA flight numbers and earned qpoints and avios based on the AA fare chart. Fwiw I earned substantially more qpoints and avios than if my above itinerary were ticketed by JL since QR seems to be *very* generous with qpoints and avios rewarded for AA flights.
