   2.  As the email subject says.  Attached qfx file does not work.  I have 
personal Bank of American checking and credit card.  They all work.  I 
downloaded the file by using the “Web Connect for Quicken 2018 and above”.

You are perhaps confusing file type with data withing that file. You say that you downloaded the file asking it be delivered for "Quicken 2018 and above" What is your reasoning to expect THAT (data intended for some sort of bookkeeping that is NOT double entry bookkeeping) to be correct data for gnucash (data intended for standard double entry bookkeeping)


I have a suspicion why it is not working.  Maybe it is because a combined qfx 
file.  BofA organized their business account in a group fashion.  They made a 
parent account and each credit card holder as a child account.  Their personal 
account doesn’t follow this parent-child account structure.

Well a credit card "account" of that sort is standard for business credit cards (a master card number, perhaps not used to charge anything, and some number of individual child cards which are. That way whoever is doing the record keeping can see what is being charged on each card but pays to the master number. That is NOT just for business. Thus in my own case, I have a card (and it's the master number) and my wife has a card with a different number but actually the same account. When I get a statement, the charges for both card numbers are listed separately but the total, and payments. etc. just on the master account number.

Since I have not yet switched that to online, I have no idea what the file would look like if I asked MasterCard to provide a file instead of paper statement.
