You can use prev() to get the textbox

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function(){ 
        alert($(this).prev().val());   
        alert($('.ProductActionAdd a').prevAll(".ProductActionAdd a:first").attr('id'));
    });
});

Description: Get the immediately preceding sibling of each element in the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector, reference.

Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .prev() method searches for the predecessor of each of these elements in the DOM tree and constructs a new jQuery object from the matching elements.

The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that can be passed to the $() function. If the selector is supplied, the preceding element will be filtered by testing whether it match the selector, reference.

the input is the previous sibling element of the clicked anchor element so use .prev() ($(this).prev())

Also to get the value of the element use .val()

$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function () {
        alert($(this).prev().val());
    })
});

Try this

$(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function(){
    alert($(this).prev().val());
})

Yes, you can do this task using jquery $(this). There are more than one way exist to achieve this task.

You can try jquery .prev() :

$(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function(){
    alert($(this).prev().val());        
});

Or you can also try to find input into parent container, using jquery .parent()

$(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function(){    
    alert($(this).parent().find('input[type="text"]').val());    
});

Check this:

$(".ProductActionAdd a").click(function(){

    $(this).prev("input[type=text]").val();
});
