If I'm looking to sell around 80,000 UR points, what would be the best airline to transfer it to?

None, leave it as is for now.

Best sale option would likely be to someone needing it for a KE ticket, in which case the ticket would have to be booked out of the passengers account, so you'd need to link the passengers name as a secondary user on your account and transfer it to their account.

I have a 1,000 American Airlines points that are expiring soon. Any reason to hold on to them? Could I transfer them to something else?

Exactly
You can still sell as UR but make it clear that you only want transfers done to your FF #. However this really brings down the value as KE doesnt really allow 3rd party bookings, UA needs to be clean. BA is not worth much. So that leaves you with AF or SQ

Of these, SQ is likely more valuable since it’s not an instant transfer.

United would be worth more and easier to find a buyer for.
