If a search engine spider does not have access to that page (because it's behind a login), it will never see the link and therefore there will be no value passed through.

RE: Will Google display the "@" Symbol in a SERP Title?
Yes, Google will display the @ symbol in your title. I am fairly confident that I have seen titles with @ in the search results. I have not been able to find an official source to back up this information though.
You should just do a quick experiment - make a test page on which you use the symbol in the title, get the page indexed and then search google for "site:test page url" and see how it shows up.
