For the return, one of the flights routes through MIA. What I want to do is choose that flight that connects in MIA but just throw away the last segment and not travel MIA-ORD (so I can stay a few days in MIA).

Then, I’d like to buy a one way home from FLL to ORD a few days after the throw away flight.

Question: will the throw away last leg raise any red flags?

Question 2: when I book the one way from FLL to ORD should I leave my FF # off the reservation until like the day before the flight so it doesn’t somehow get flagged or canceled?

Having a trip a few days later from the same area isn't going to raise a red flag.
Requesting them to short check a bag to MIA might as they can flag that it was short check, and someone can later verify if you took the connecting flight.
