Notwithstanding the terms of any employment or partnership agreement, my feel is that in the international firm context, as you may be advising only on one aspect of a multi-jurisdictional matter, client loyalty may be more towards the firm than to you (if they like keeping the entire matter within the one firm across the globe), so it's harder to build a big book of clients. is that a fair statement?

Not a partner so can’t say for sure. But if you’re those with partnership material, eg go getter BD god, I’m sure you can out earn earn a counsel/SA in an international firm.
For those with no partnership interest or chops like myself naturally being a wage slave in a international firm can be comfortable.
Not sure what you mean by your third question. Why only one aspect? Even QFLPs frequently act as lead international counsel. Sure big corporates have panels but there are other types of clients.
