That will give you priority clearing immigration and customs inspections, dropping your bags off at the transfer desks at the exit from the Federal Inspection Services Facility and going through the TSA security checkpoint. AA flights to HNL generally depart from T5, approximately a 6-10 minutes walk from TBIT. Sometimes those depart from T4 (3-5 minutes walk) or TBIT.
Thanks so much for your detailed explanation and the pictures. Keeping fingers crossed everything will be on time and I will not have to look for the cards but very happy to know that there are options to speed up the process if the flight from LHR is running late.
