As far as Delta is concerned, I could status match to Platinum and with the flight booked, I'd extend the status through February 2015. How many miles and dollars would an IAH-FRA or IAH-BKK cost in business oneway?

Whatever program I choose, I'd be expect that StarAlliance would remain my primary program and that long-term I'd probably only have silver, if that, as status.

DL effectively doesn't offer one way award tickets, except if you don't mind paying the same number of miles as for a RT.

IF available, a RT business class award RT ticket to Europe is 100,000 in low and 120,000 for Asia. This is assuming that you can find low award space on dares and routings that you can use.
