What I want to know is, is it possible to check in for the HNL-DFW flight while in OGG, and get a bag-tag for HNL-DFW?

Check-in at OGG yes, boarding pass only, luggage must be done at HNL.

We'd like to do whatever we can to save time when we land in Honolulu. (Even better would be through-checking our bags from OGG to DFW, but I'm hearing AA doesn't do that anymore.)

In addition to the interline rules, HA has a 4 hour layover rule.... "And be sure to check your connecting times. If your connection between interline partner airlines is longer than 4 hours for domestic flights and longer than 24 hours for international flights, it’s considered a stopover and you’ll need to collect your bags and recheck them for your next flight. If you have a separate ticket for a connecting flight, please check in with an airport agent at your point of origin. Hawaiian Airlines will only through-check bags to other airline flights if the other airline segments are on the same ticket.
