I take it would be same for his sword? He would be able to hold onto it, but it would be a struggle between the two of them?

I'll have to decline to answer on that front. I will say though that you should keep in mind that with the shield, he's just "grabbing" it, whereas with the sword he's actively trying to pull it out of Alex's grip.
