1) My wife and I are traveling on an award ticket on DL from DCA to JFK in Y. We are connecting to another award on *A from JFK to SIN in J class. Is there anyway for us:
a) to interline the baggage to the destination (SIN) at DCA?
b) Get the international baggage allowance for the domestic segment, DCA-JFK, that would be allowed for JFK-SIN on BR?

2) My adult children will be travelling from IAH-TPE-SIN-BKK-HYD on J award tickets on BR. One of my children has to travel from DCA-IAH, alsoi on a Y award ticket, to begin the journey. Would this traveler be able to attach the domestic travel to the international travel to take advantage of baggage allowance (50 lbs domestic vs 70 lbs intl)? If so, how?

Please advise.
I have done this in reverse; I have Interlined UA Domestic to a DL International with no issues. Provided you are checked in for the connecting *A ticket when you present your bags at the DL Ticket Counter, DL will likely interline your bags to the connecting *A flight. However, your DL Domestic Baggage Allowance will NOT be increased based on your connecting *A Flight Allowance. If you are Medallion Gold, you may get an increased baggage allowance. If you Medallion Butkis, then you likely will pay for bags AND even more if they are over 50Lbs.
