I know with certainty that both routes are bookable as single award subject to seat availability.
The first will require booking LHR-SEA on BA which may not make sense due to BA's ridiculous surcharges.
But you can certainly do routing via ORD or PHL or RDU or CLT or DFW or PHX to make it all on AA metal ( subject to availability and your ability to handle layovers)
The second one is of course doable provided you get seats and conections.
However, if your intention is to travel from CMB to SEA, there are many more cheaper (in terms of airport taxes - avoid LHR) and easier to book options available
(Hint: Both AA and EY fly to many european cities other than LHR where this nonsense of having to call Fiji can be avoided)
Also, OT for this thread but have you checked out Srilankan Airways?
