If it was a round-trip fare, it will have no value if you voluntarily cancel other than moving to new dates on the return. You can probably swap return to/from cities as long as it transatlantic (so no you can't use it on domestic-only). If your return ends up being involuntarily cancelled, approximately 50% of the value can be refunded.

It is unlikely to be 2 x one way fares since the lowest one way fare is a Y fare at $2027 plus taxes/charges
With the fare rules listed for AAs r/t fares, this seems not to be in line with the fare rules

Code:

          //CHANGES AFTER DEPARTURE//
          THE ITINERARY MUST BE REPRICED USING HISTORICAL
          FARES IN EFFECT ON THE PREVIOUS TICKETING DATE.
          -----
          WHEN THE NEW ITINERARY RESULTS IN A HIGHER FARE
          THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE COLLECTED.
          -----
          WHEN THE NEW ITINERARY RESULTS IN A LOWER FARE NO
          REFUND WILL BE MADE HOWEVER THE DIFFERENCE IN
          FARE WILL BE RETURNED TO THE PASSENGER IN THE
          FORM OF A NONREFUNDABLE TRAVEL VOUCHER WHICH MAY
          BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A TICKET VALID
          FOR TRANSPORTATION GOVERNED BY AA.
