Do whatever you like more and would do better in (would recommend maths, cause most top unis would require it). Econ also may help to get into top unis if you want to study economics (not generally a requirement tho).

A-level economics is not gonna help you at all in relation IB, there are really no over-lapping concepts, and all introductory economics courses at university cover the A-level syllabus.

Would you say getting into IB is much harder when only doing 3 A levels opposed to 4 or more

Doesn't make a difference in general and IBs won't care.
They only screen for a minimum for ABB/AAB, after that I don't think there is a strong advantage to someone with A*A*A or AAB (higher grades will obviously help to get into a stronger uni/program which could be important tho).
