They fly to LAX and IAH. I'm sure they went back to AKL for a reason, but I don't see why they couldn't divert to one of those.

Probably recovery. Easier for them to fly again when stuff is available then managing being down with crew in the wrong location for that long. Crew can't work again for 48 hours I believe on TPAC/TATL flights. For a small airline like ANZ that could be devastating as I doubt they have many reserve crews especially crews certed to fly a 787...

They can't work, but they can be put on a return flight from IAH or LAX as passengers.
