RE H: No, you need a key card to even call the elevator.
The flagship agents might question it, but no, I've used the same boarding pass twice through TSA when the flight was delayed so was put up in a hotel.

AA at LAX does not have any limits regarding how early you can check the bags on the day. You can drop yours and then leave the airport. I'd probably check the bags in the general check-in area (there is a Priority line as well) to avoid questions why you're not continuing to security at the Flagship check-in (not that I think it'll be an issue).
Thanks everyone. We'll give it a go if QF don't check all the way through. Will have visits to MIA Flagship and JFK Premium on this visit as well and will include in a mini-trip report.
