i called in to the business extraa # today. they were able to answer some of my questions & transferred me to meeting services to answer the rest.
admirals club membership: you can only buy one year ahead with business extraa points
roundtrip europe-->usa-->europe IS allowed--you don't have to start in usa
open jaw is allowed
one stopover IS allowed but only if it could technically be a published fair routing without the stopover:
eg lhr-->jfk (with multi-day stopover at jfk) --> sfo -->lhr is allowed because a trip from london to sfo would naturally change planes at jfk. stopover can also be taken on the way back with the same proviso.
none of these rules (& many other detailed business extraa award rules) are actually published anywhere on line--so the way aa has it set up at the moment is unnecessarily straining their phone resources!

separately i have been trying to find the business extraa award ticket rules to europe without success. does anyone know where, if anywhere they are published? or failing that, if i can do the following on a business extraa award:
1) is a roundtrip europe-->usa-->europe allowed, or do you have to start in usa?
2) is a stopover allowed? eg lhr-->jfk--sfo-->lhr
an open jaw?
both?
thanks!
