For example, if I set tell AA.com that I want to book two award seats at the same time for the range of 4/23-4/25, it shows no availability. If I change it back to one seat though, the dates open up again.

Am I safe to assume that if I put one award seat on hold for my wife, then log back in to hold my own award seat, I'll come up empty anyway?

Probably, but it's just a hold, so give it a try. Even try waiting a day and then checking again, to see if revenue management may have opened up a second seat, once the first is gone. If not, just cancel the hold...
