If those flights are available booking via AA, then they also should be available booking via BA or QR, etc. So you can transfer Amex to BA or QR and book via those channels, although the award pricing and fees will vary.

No, it is not possible to transfer avios or Amex points directly to AA.

I've updated the thread's title to more accurately reflect its contents.

Have you checked Cathay Pacific?
Note that your itinerary is business class outbound, economy return (55k + 30k). Business class for 55k will be difficult to beat (though you might lower the surcharges by using CX AsiaMiles) but 30k for economy is nothing special.
