I figured that this big time difference was because my arriving flight landed at 5:20PM and the latest outbound flight on that day was 6:29PM, which will not be enough for my international layover.

I certainly I could just cancel and get my miles re-instated but this was a pretty good deal so I didn't want to cancel it and book a new one (don't think a business award ticket would show up). What are my options here? I would be ok with staying at a hotel IF AA paid for it or I can reimburse through my credit card trip delay insurance. However, if they notify me far in advance would I be able to get any sort of those insurance or accomodation? I have seen somewhere that if they notify 14 days in advance I wouldn't be entitled for any protection but wanted to confirm here
You won't get the hotel, but it's worth looking at a reroute. Find other flight combinations that don't involve an overnight layover, possibly with other transfer cities.
