I called and had the destination airport changed to HNL, then purchased HNL-LIH roundtrip tickets on Hawaiian, because 12+ hours in a 738 is not my idea of a good way to start (or end) a vacation
No. The A321H flies to Hawaii, essentially an A321S two class certified ETOPS.
No again. AA has no 737-800s certified for ETOPS; you were going to be on a 757.

Most of the 757s are slated to be replaced by A321neos, iirc.
