It's very likely OK, but a little tight. My guess, you make that 8 times out of 10.

You will need to pick up your bags at JFK and take them through customs, but there will be a dropoff right after customs for American Airlines. They'll be tagged all the way through to Orlando when you check in at MAN.

Yes.

I'm not sure there _is_ a later JFK-MCO nonstop on AA after that one (doesn't look like it).
If I were you, I'd stick with these flights, and if something goes wrong, AA will get you to MCO, although you might end up having to route through another location.
