My TP year ends in beginning in july and I have calculated that I will reach excactly 1500TP before that, so I do not need the TP from MIA to JFK.

The question is, if I do an ORC on the AA flight from MIA to JFK, will they remove my posted flight and Avios from MIA to LHR and insert the JFK to LHR instead in I class? I will get more Avios by keeping the flight from MIA to LHR in J class. Or will I keep my J class flight and add the AA flight only?
yes they will manually remove the rebooked flight you actually flew on and add the flights you should have taken. Sometimes you are better off not claiming and keeping your rebooked itinerary.
