In our travel benefits, what counts as international flights (transoceanic)? Do you have to fly to Europe or Asia for it to count, or all international flights?
Are the six flight days shared between you and your spouse, or is it six each?
Can we do interline travel? Is it unlimited?

The six travel days are per person. Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, etc don't count against them. You have to cross a pond. One flight can count as two travel days if it goes into the next day.
You can interline all you want/have time/money for, but there is an exclusion period from your start date (9 months?) that can differ from airline to airline. If you truly travel a lot you want to go DL on the one day portion and interline on the 2 day segment. A lot of the interline agreements don't put you in first class but if you're good with the crew and purser your odds improve.

This part is incorrect.
One flight is equal to one transoceanic pass.
Calendar day of departure and arrival is irrelevant. i.e. JFK-NRT leaving on Thursday afternoon arriving Friday afternoon is still one oceanic segment.
Conversely, SYD-LAX where you arrive several hours before you left, still uses up a full segment, and not three quarters of one.
And just to reiterate to the original asker of the question, do not ZED on an offline carrier attempting to save two oceanic segments as one flight is always one segment.

There is an employment waiting period. I believe it's 6 months with most carriers to use ZEDs through myidtravel.

Hawaii does not count as Transoceanic - unless you need to go through NRT to make it home.
