I’m a AA person (Oneworld). does it make a difference how many points I earn when I fly with a partner airline based on where I book? Do i earn the same if I book directly through the AA app/website, or from a partner airlines website (eg Cathay, British, etc)- assuming the ticket price is identical?

If you book on a partner it’s nuanced based on the airline and fare code. It will most likely be some type of percentage based on distance for EQM, EQD, and usually 50-100% for EQM. For award miles, most likely a percentage of mileage flown instead of based on EQD x status multiplier. Each partner has their own chart based on fare code.

If you book directly on AA, it will be the normal earning.

So it will depend on fare code whether to book directly on AA vs OW partner site.
