Looking at an AS-AA itinerary later this year (AS to DOM AS to INTL AA) which has a very short transfer time (1hr20m). Because it's a multi-leg itinerary to another international flight, it works better to take the AS connection but there's another AA flight 45 mins later (so about 2hr transfer time). Question - if I'm running late after the first AS flight, will AS put me on the next flight (i.e. AA metal) or only on their own metal (the next available AS flight)

If it’s all one booking, you should be “protected” and rebooked if there’s issues.

Just confirming, that it’s three flights Dom-Dom-Int? In that scenario, and depending on which airport the last AS arrives / AA flight departs, 1hr:20min is a decent connection time if flights are on time - usually just walk from arriving gate to departure gate (no additional security etc).

Understand that. INT AS - DOM AS - INTL AA is the itin i was thinking of. Transfer between the 2 AS flights at Seattle - so 1hr 20 is tight but doable. But if i miss that, there's an AA flight 1 hr later or an AS flight 6 hours later. I'm wondering whether AS-AA cooperation extends to rebooking if 1 carrier is delayed? I guess so as it's all oneworld?

A bit more information is needed.

Q1. Who/what airline would be ticketing the booking?
Q2. At what airport would the domestic to international connection be?

Ah, it wasn’t obvious in your first post that Flight 1 was Int arrival. No idea what SEA immigration is like but 1h:20m is probably doable if on the tight side - be aware that SEA is a multi-terminal arrangement interconnected by people movers that aren’t necessarily obvious what’s the quickest way to go. So if not familiar, expect a little extra time to make that first connection.

I’d expect they’d do what they can (not just another AA flight. Could be DL or UA etc if nothing else available. I had that on an mis connect (AS-AS dom at SEA). Rebooked on DL.

For the first AS-AS connection at SEA, is the inbound sector truly international, or from a (major) Canadian airport? If the latter it's for all intents and purposes a dom-dom connection.
