Will tickets for the charter flights (DFW-BFI-LAX) be available as award tickets rather than paid tickets?
You book your positioning flights on your own. There is no rule that states you must use OW carriers, but it's a good way to show appreciation.
There is no rule which states that you must stay at the Do hotels. However, not only is it a good way to show appreciation, it's highly advisable for convenience. Then again, if you live in one of the positioning cities close to one of the Do hotels, you may find it more convenient to sleep in your own bed.
You cannot redeem miles for award travel on the charter flights.
