The later GRU flight is on V whereas the earlier one was S, and would be GRU-MIA-SFO missing the JFK leg. (was trying to add a miles into the equation)

Once booked, and I phone AA asking them to change to the later flight, will they reprice the whole itin or just the return leg?

It depends:

If the price increase is due to an S-Class Fare being no longer available/applicable, then the increase will apply.
However, if the increase is due to S Availability being no longer available on the outbound, you can still keep your already-confirmed S-class space (for the same flights) and add new inbound flights (with S Availability).
