So if I use points and get a Economy ticket BHM or ATL-BKK, I could purchase the difference between Economy and EC seats, Correct? And if I understand you, I could purchase a EC seat for just for the ATL-NRT portion, correct? About how much can I expect to have to pay cash for the difference?

Yes, you can purchase EC for only one segment. TPAC is probably more expensive than NRT-BKK.
You can use miles to UPGRADE from coach to BE if you buy a Y B M ticket, which is very expensive.
