Hello and welcome to FlyerTalk, bendercy! The forum you posted to was for American Airlines, but none of your flights are on AA or will be departing/arriving to AA-operated terminals. As such, I've gone ahead and split this post into its own thread and moved it to the DL forum as I believe that's the best place for these questions. Good luck with your travels!

For the return, it will be completely fine. You will be arriving at Terminal 2E, and departing from 2F, which is a very easy/painless connection nowadays.

Your DL215 will arrive at T4. I would re-clear TSA security at T4 and then take the Jitney inside security that leaves T4 by gate B20 and takes you over to T2 for DL419 (the Jitney ride is inside the sterile area). I think this is easier/faster than exiting T4 and taking the AirTrain to T2 and re-clearing TSA at T2 (T2 security is awful).

As mentioned, both of your flights at JFK are in T4. The issue I can see is that, presumably you are not a US citizen so you will have to wait in the possibly long passport control line instead of being able to use the fast passport kiosk.
Are you checking a bag? That can add more time having to wait in the customs area for your bag to arrive, and then getting in the exit line to leave customs and go back to security. However, as mentioned there are other flights to SEA so you'd get put on the later one if you happen to miss it.
CDG you have almost 2hrs so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you everyone for your kind and fast replies on this!
Let me give some more details:
- I will be flying in business class
- Only carry hand luggage
- Spanish citizen with ESTA form completed online etc...
So I understand that arrival from Malaga (AGP) to Seattle are both happening within the same Terminal 4, correct?

Yes AGP-JFK would arrive in T4, and JFK-SEA depart from T4. It just might be a long walk from the gate to immigration.
It'll help since you're in business and only have a carry on bag, but you'll still have to wait in the normal passport control line since the fast Kiosks are only for US or Canada citizens. I think you'll still make it to the gate for the SEA flight before they start boarding.

In addition, as I mentioned before, sometimes there are agents in the corridor between the gate area and immigration handing out cards for connecting passengers that can get you through quickly.
