Whether an AA Vacations booking can be upgraded with AA miles would be a question for AAdvantage or the AA forum. I would expect the answer to be probably not but I could be wrong…

As for Avios; only BA/125 issued tickets can be upgraded using Avios under BAEC. You cannot use Avios to upgrade a ticket issued by any other airline.

If not, if I wait for the CW 2-for-1 sales that they run periodically from the US (where you get two for about $5000), can I upgrade those fares?

Yup; all CW fares sold directly by BA can be upgraded, including those part of a BA Holidays package (the equivalent of AA Vacations). Most, but not all fares sold by travel agents and issued as BA/125 can be upgraded.
