They are two separate subjects. The only thing I've heard is that if you want to do medicine they won't be counted as two separate subjects, for certain medical schools.

Yes they are separate AS and A levels. You will be awarded 2 qualifications.
FM is valuable for Maths, Physics, some Engineering and some Economics courses.
Unless you are applying for a very Maths related course then some Unis will only count it as one A level in terms of meeting your offer requirements.

yeah they're two separate ASs. And I doubt a uni would really consider them as one subject as its such an impressive combination. However it would depend on what you want to study at uni. I think for a science degree any uni would welcome you with open arms.
