Correct on both questions.

The timing on the DC-10 flight (AA 38) was leave LAX 11:00 PM, arrive CLE 6:12 AM, leave CLE 7:00 AM, arrive BOS 8:32 AM. The DC-10 was then cleaned and serviced at BOS, and flew back non stop to LAX as AA 11 at 9:30 AM. The westbound red eye from BOS to LAX also stopped at CLE, but used a 707.

AA's full schedule from CLE was:

BOS: 2x (1x DC-10, 1x 727)
BUF: 1x 707, originated in LAS
DFW: 3x 727, plus a 1 stop 727 via STL
BDL: 1x 707, originated in SFO
IAH: 2x 727
LAS: 1x 707, plus a 1 stop 727 via PHX; the 707 originated in BUF
LAX: 3x (2x day 707, 1x day 727)
LGA: 3x 727
PHX: 1x 727
ROC: 1x 707, originated in LAX
STL: 3x 727
SFO: 1x 707, originated in BDL
