How much of the link that counts as an inbound is read by the spiders? Is it just the initial domain name, the actual landing page and/or are things like "aff=" taken into account as well?

Yes. Variables and values in query strings are part of URLs, another value (e.g. affiliate ID) is another URL. If you're willing to take the risk of cloaking, deliver to search engine spiders only one unique URL in links on the landing page by a 301 redirect in 'script':
