I have MR points with AMEX but I think 100K is not enough for anything
?
It's an issue at time of booking. They will let you put seats on hold so depending on the timing that perhaps would work.
This is the form you need to fill out:

In terms of AMEX - there actually is a great use for them here but you'll need to again be comfortable being booked on separate reservations.
AMEX ---> Aeroplan gives you access to the same EVA flights that United does (and any other *A options that UA shows). 77.5k for JFK - TPE - DPS on EVA.
Signup for Aeroplan is free and you can poke around and see the options before transferring anything over. Transfer is nearly instant in my experience.
