You have to call in to add the infant lap ticket to your reward after ticketing (or during if you do your reward over the phone). It will be 10% of the JAL Business fare for your flight. Took my now 3 year old NRT-LAX on JAL when he was 11 months.

The infant ticket on JAL via AA cost me about 2x his infant ticket LAX-HND on Delta at the time because the DL Biz fare was a little over 2k one-way vs JAL charging 4K+. I waited months after making my award reservation to ticket my infant hoping the JAL fare would drop to where everyone else was - but never happened. If you are doing a round-trip award may not be an issue. The JAL suites were definitely nicer than the Delta seats - so did not mind.

On the other question - if you do a second award ticket and they have their own seat vs. being a lap infant - of course that is fine too.
