If your Amex is Australian, then yes, you can transfer 1:1 to Velocity. If US, the best you can do is transfer via SPG but there's a significant reduction in the transfer ratio. You also need to have an Australian address to open a Velocity account.
After 1 January 2015, Delta allows one way award redemptions so you may be best waiting 10 days and then trying to book the seat through Delta.

Can those points be transferred to SQ? Those seats may be bookable from there (although I don't know about one-ways).
Also, SQ points can be directly transferred to Velocity at 135:100.
