Nothing can be done w/ AAdvantage miles regardless of if it's ticketed as AA or QF flight.

Now's the time to tell them they must buy you QF premium economy.
Can I buy up to Premium Economy if they buy me economy? Does being OneWorld Emerald do anything for me?
Not directly with Qantas, if a TA is involved. You will need to talk to your companies travel agent. If its the AA flight number (codeshare) you cannot as AA does not sell PE. UA, DL & Virgin Australia also fly LAX-SYD and UA LAX-MEL.

OWE may get you free seat selection, but not 100% sure.
