Most likely there will be one additional travel to MEX later this year and maybe an additional one to the US on LH or UA. Asian travel will most likely be done with OW / Etihad which is perfectly fine with me and will be credited to Airberlin Topbonus.

So I might be able to earn enough miles this year to get OZ *A gold status equivalent. If I understand correctly this status is valid for the qualification period (2 years) + 2 more years? So when I sign up today and qualify by end 2017 does that mean the status will be granted until March 2020?

Assuming that I have discount UA ticket for the other travel and again Prem Eco LH - would you agree this OZ would be a reasonable - maybe even the best - choice?
