Also, I transferred MR into ANA for this ticket. Once these points are "redeposited" to ANA upon cancellation, do I have 36 months since time of original deposit from Amex or does the ticket somehow alter how long I have to use the points?
It should be 36 months after the points were originally deposited to your account. Remember you just have to book before that, not complete travel before that.
I doubt 2h 15m is enough to get a free cancellation. Unless you have a same ticket connection to the flight that is suddenly below minimum connection time.
