1. I've read AA RTW desk is a good place to purchase and I have AA flights SEA-LAX-NRT. Is AA better than online purchase especially since I want a ZAR fare paid in USD?
Routing: Johannesburg - Madrid - Athens (ground) Mykonos - London - Zagreb - Doha - Los Angeles - Seattle - Los Angeles - Tokyo - Manila - Kuala Lumpur - Ho Chi Minh City (ground) Bangkok - Hong Kong - Johannesburg

I only want the 2 stop overs in the U.S. - 3 months Europe, 3 months U.S., 6 months Asia.
Thanks
Just a few comments to your routing. A surface trip counts as a sector. You could do more if you avoid these.You could also try to do more longer sectors with better seats instead of short hops with regional business class and just buy some economy tickets for these destinations.
There are a lot of low cost carriers in Asia which fly between places like KUL, SGN, BKK etc.
You could use the RTW for some longer sectors like NRT/HND-SIN or India instead
