I am travelling from Cape Town to Dubai then onto Europe later in the year in economy on Emirates. I am a platinum with Qantas. Will I get access to the lounge through my qf status?
You should have access based on your platinum status. Only place lounge access doesn't work is if you are in (or flying to) North/Central/South America.
Here is the quote from the Qantas website:
Eligible customers can also access Emirates Lounges across Australia, Europe, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East when flying on eligible Qantas or Emirates flights with a QF or EK flight number on your ticket.

Probably not, EK is not in Oneworld and you won't be on a QF codeshare. Never hurts to ask though.

The key words are "eligible... flights". This is not a blanket privilege.

The QF/EK partnership will cover you in North Africa only. (Nairobi, Accra, Cairo etc...)
There's a handy little map here: https://www.emirates.com/au/english/travel-partners/qantas/
