Any advice if this is the best CPM to go from HKG on AA?
That sounds better I suppose, though that DFW-HKG/HKG-DFW flight is brutal- 16 hours westbound, 14 east (so about double what your kid is used to). Add in 3 hours to/from EWR and any connection time and you're looking at a day of travel each way. I'd be sure to add in time to recoup from jet lag on both ends.

I doubt you'll get much better CPM. There's a fare involving CGK that's about the same to ORD (would that work for you?). Hope it works out for you and your kid (and fellow passengers).
