If this is your first visit, I would strongly discourage trying to hop over to Australia in the same trip. There's so much to do in NZ that you'd not want to shortchange yourself by splitting your time. At these prices, it wouldn't be hard to go back, though!!

Also noting when I input 5 or 6 pax for eligible dates it don't show 562 it shows 760 something. Same dates for 1 pax it does show but says onlt 1 ticket available bummer..
Thinking doing either Japan or Australia or Nz during kids spring break.

Auckland is something that is 2-3 days to see a good amount of things. Waiheke is a boat ride away, and you can rent a vehicle or take a tour on that island. I find it more for the vineyards than things for kids to do, though. It's might be a day trip, but you could squeeze in Matamata to see Hobbiton or Waitomo for the glowworms. Google Maps is pretty off on driving times, so expect a bit under 3 hours to/from Auckland. Rotorua is probably too far for a day trip and would be the geologic sights. If you've been to Yellowstone, Rotorua might be a little underwhelming - at least in my opinion. I'd not advise driving on day 1 - the roads are small, winding, and you'll be tired.

The weather wouldn't be like the midwest - it doesn't get that cold and wouldn't be below freezing by a wide margin. It can be very windy and rainy, though. I spent several days in Sydney just avoiding getting drenched.
You can always use that as a way to jump to other locations. Brisbane will be mild-to-warm and has one of my favorite places to visit - the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It's also a nicer time to go to Uluru (Ayers Rock) - it won't be scorching hot but might be boring to kids. There are still tons of flies that time of year. I really enjoyed Cairns/Port Douglas area in the winter as it's still tropical and has tours of the Great Barrier Reef.
Delta now flies to Brisbane from LAX, so you could also do something like fly to Sydney and fly back from Brisbane so you don't backtrack.
Seeing you have several people going, booking basic economy could be an easy way to get separated. They won't separate young kids from a parent, but that doesn't mean they won't separate the parents. The price difference you see is when they have fewer seats at the lower price than the number you want. Delta will charge everyone the higher price. I wouldn't separate everyone to be on their own tickets to get a lower price for 1 or 2 - you're almost guaranteed to be split up then on basic economy and have the hassle of multiple itineraries and possible changes.
Hopefully you find something that works out!

Northern island, fly into Wellington to see that part and drive into Hobbiton/Rotorua areas with a rental car from Auckland airport.
Anything less than 10 days would be rushing and not worth it, my .02 cents.
