They don't offer connections, but they will allow you to do a 15 day stop in Tokyo should you want to do so.

Yes, they would basically need to stay 14 days in a hotel, coming back to the 15 day stop that you can buy.
Towards the end of March, JAL operated a couple of US (I forget the gateway) to Chubu. So at times there are extra flights to make it easier to hit certain regions. If there is a projected need.
