$75 fee:

-21+ days prior to departure is based on the departing city time zone, not the booking city time zone.

EDIT: I managed to call in and have them waive the fee when it was within 21 days in departing city time zone but not by booking city time zone

UPDATE: AA has removed all close-in fees

I have domestic flight on aa next week and would like to make same day change. What's best way to go about it? Cancelling and rebooking seems like it will incur an $80.60 charge. Pray for standby or are there better options?

If available now for same amount of miles and same route, shouldn’t changes be free?

No
Aa does not partner with anyone who has a direct nyc to tlv flight.

Closest you can get to direct is RJ...you overshoot by 25 minutes  ;D

It's actually not a bad idea since worse case you take a cab to the border and you are in Israel as opposed to going through Europe if you get stuck you are stuck.
