Thanks!
Anyone's points may be used to book for anyone else, even a non-family member/friend/colleague. Likely the best strategy would be to find a one-way as close as possible to the 6000 figure and use them up that way.
Normally easiest to book one-ways on WN. No way I know of to use two different members' points on a single PNR ("reservation number"). Combining/sharing points between accounts is not cost-effective.
Been a long time since I booked a minor, but a call to Customer Service should get a note on her record that the child will not be unaccompanied.
