2. I would go with the Marriott card. The Bold is a great card - I personally have it - but since you are flying primarily AA and want to stay at Marriotts I wouldn't waste my time with it right now. Yes, you can transfer URs you earn on the Bold to Marriott but the redemption rate is so low that it isn't worth it.

For the OP who stays at Marriott's, the Marriott Premier seems like a no brainer. 70k+free night, plus 5x points for every stay at a Marriott. The card is worth it even if you never use it except at Marriott's.
