Will my AA status get me an comp upgrade on a QF flight? Is it even possible to go from business to first via complementary upgrade? The experience I seen on a few video reviews of the first cabin and i'm very interested in the experience.

No, your AA statsus will not get you comp upgrades on QF flights. It will not even get you comp upgrades on long haul AA flights. If you want to be in First or Business class on QF then you need to pay for it.
