No Affiliate/Partner form present on Order forms, during admin order create/edit, what do I need to do so that this is always available for every order.

Hi,

Yes. There is no interface to add affiliation to an order from the backend.
Try to change the line:
<?php if(!empty($this->order->partner)){ ?>
to:
<?php if(true){ ?>
in the file "show" of the view "order" for your backend template via the menu Display>views and that should allow you to do that.

Would this allow me to link an order to an affiliate (in the case a customer purchased an item without using the affiliate url)?

Yes. You'll have the partner area always visible and you'll be able to use the edit icon to add a partner to the order if none was selected before.
