Do not go downstairs to baggage claim. Exit on AA check in level and follow signs to Airtrain. Take the inner terminals loop. OP should do a quick check with the GA to see if AA can get OP transfered without leaving airside. OP can make it in 30 minutes from deplaning if he moves quickly and doesn’t hit a line at T4 security.

You aren't in an apartment? Why didn't you just book SFO-HKG-MLE on CX? Actually there was an awesome CX biz sale a few months ago, ORD-HKG- then either CMB or MLE, for about $2300, all in confirmed business. Someone posted about it over in the mileage run-->premium forum.
By the way, I'm not too far away in CMB right now (on that sale fare) and the weather is wonderful! Just make sure you use plenty of sunscreen, I got burned out on the beach yesterday.
Hope you have a great time in MLE.

FR24 has your arrival in to 2120 now, though I would probably take the number the cockpit gave you until other evidence (like deplaning) says otherwise.
FR24 also showing EY100 pushed back a tad - might want to check with the airline, and no time to dawdle, but might not be quite so stressful as you fear.
Bon chance!

It seems like these connections feel riskier than they are sometimes. I had an int'l to domestic connection of one hour last week (legal connection). After waiting for 20 minutes for my bag to pop out, I ran to the other end of the airport .... only to see that they'd just finished offloading pax.
An hour is a lot of time! Confident it will work out OK. Don't forget to post the result before your EY flight leaves!
