I am wondering whether this scenarios is eligible for trip delay insurance since the delay is a week long

I don't see why this wouldn't qualify. You're capped at $500 per person, though, so it probably won't cover all of your expenses.
American should pay for hotel at destination city -- it's home city they usually don't pay hotel.
"Delays caused by us
If the disruption is our fault or you're diverted to another city, and we don't board before 11:59 p.m. local time on your scheduled arrival day, we'll arrange an overnight stay or cover the cost of an approved hotel, if available. We don’t guarantee reimbursement for hotel expenses if you book directly without written authorization from American Airlines."
