Anyway - it should be quite easy in the US - you go through the gate & wait couple of minutes in the same area & get back to the same aircraft.. Am I missing something ?
Would I be able to check in to both flights with the AA App?
Of course, I will be traveling with no luggage at all..

Not to worry, you will get 40 TP each way (80 total). Being on one of their commuter flights (Compass/American Eagle) does not negate this.
Initially you may only be able to check in for the outbound. But when it is 24 hours prior to the return, the app/website will let you check in for the 2nd flight.

As others have said, everything will be fine. You'll get 40 points per flight. Connecting at SJC is a breeze. You walk off the plane, wait by the gate, get back on again. As for the same flight numbers, this is normal. I believe it's because AA operate so many flights they can't have unique flight numbers for them all.
