The time you have is plenty.
This is what you have to do :
-clearing immigration
-picking up your bags(if you have any)
-clearing US customs
-transferring the bags at AA connecting flights counter(of you have any)
-go to the third floor for clearing security
Then look for your gate for the flight to LAX.

we will arrive to terminal 7 at 16:05 from Spain. We will have a connection from terminal 8 to Washington at 18:30. Will be enough time? What is the best way to go from terminal 7 to terminal 8? Thanks in advance

You do have enough time. Take Airtrain from T7, on track 1 and get off next stop- T8.

Arrving terminal 4 from Abu Dhabi at 4:30pm and leaving for Miami at 6:30pm in terminal 8. Is this enough time and does JFK have seperate lines in security for first class pasagners?

thanks

It should be enough.
The lines for immigration are separated only by status:
US citizens and Permanent residents on one line, visa holders on the second line.
First class passengers are usually the first ones to disembark the plane so in most cases they do not wait on the line long time.

My wife would be arriving by Jet airways 9w266 on Monday. She does not have a mobile phone. Is there any prepaid call service available inside the airport, so that she can probably dial a toll free number and connect to me? Else what would be the best option for her to connect with me in the airport? And by the way, do Jetairways always arrive at Terminal 8?

Jet Airways always arrives at T8.
She can buy one of the prepaid phone cards. They sell them at the money exchange counters in dominations of $5,$10 or $20.

Hi I am flying from JFK with AA to Miami then Bogota, do i have to clear customs with all my luggages in miami?

also: there is a new summer restriction on luggages at AA to my destination. 50 lbs per luggage checked. I have 53 to 54 lbs, how likely will have me pay overweight? isnt there a plus/minus 10% cushion, meaning 50 lbs plus 10% would be 55 acceptable without overweight charge

finally where can I find the list of shops of terminal 8?

Sometimes the check-in agents let you "slide" with 2-5 pounds extra, but don't count on this. See if you can relocate some of the heavier items in you carry on bags may be?
Here is the list of shops at T8(just choose Terminal 8 from the tabs):
