Alternatively, my understand is that the agent can also book a separate/additional ticket for the $400 PHX-PHL under the same PNR and not change the original ticket. In the end , the next time person called, the change was doable for a small cost |

No - it would be a change to the whole journey - it wouldn't price it as adding a separate flight when there is a through fare

Again - for informational purposes - what is prevent it from pricing as multi-city? Searching a new reservation for multi-city PHX-PHL // PHL-ZRH is coming back with different prices vs searching for PHX-ZRH with a PHL connection even if the exact same flights are used.

Because the original ticket was PHX-ZRH. If it originally was a multi city, the OP would be able to change the second leg. It's the same reason you can't just drop AUS-DFW on an AUS-DFW-LHR flight and keep DFW-LHR at the same cost unless the original ticket was actually 2 multi city tickets combined.

From what I read , it was a r/t ZRH-PHL and the OP wanted to change the inbound journey from PHL-ZRH to PHX-PHL-ZRH
This would be repriced as 1/2 of ZRH-PHL r/t plus 1/2 ZRH-PHX r/t since AA offers r/t fares to both PHX and PHL It would not be priced out as ZRH-PHL r.t plus PHX-PHL If waning to price out that way, then would need to purchase separately - which would be fine with a stopover , but not a good idea if just connecting, since no protection and no baggage transfer In the end , with the 2nd agent it priced out nicely |
