As to your original question, even if misdirected the airline will still get your bags to you in a timely manner, especially if your close by in another European country. That's what they have alliance partners for. Plus your reimbursed for necessities for every day your without your luggage until it's delivered to your hotel.
This is true as long as the airline is at fault for the loss. If say, you check your bag in too late and it misses the flight while being processed by security, then the airline would not forward the bag. (You would most likely be aware of this situation in advance)
Not true at all. Alliance partners are not for the purpose of sending misdirected luggage.
Airlines help each other out when it comes to baggage... even with no partnership, bags can be forwarded in a number of different ways. The deciding factor is really how good or bad the customer service department on your particular airline of choice is.
