Also remember Delta requires jumpseaters to check in 75 minutes prior to departure for international flights! Although I am still not sure if this applies to flights from overseas back to the USA since nobody seems to know the answer. I learned the hard way about this one!

Currently CASS is domestic only so that eliminates all cargo airlines for you. It also eliminates the "real" jumpseat - you'll have to ride in the back on all pax airlines (US carriers). I looked up NWA and they are flying from Detroit to Osaka, Minneapolis to Nagoya (through Narita), and from Minneapolis to Narita (pretty long drive from Osaka I think). I’d say, try to contact NWA jumpseat coordinator and maybe he/she can give you some feedback?
Doesn't actually eliminate "all cargo carriers", just UPS/FedEx, maybe DHL, etc. Almost all the ACMI's will take a JS'er int'l. Only problem being, the schedules may be erratic or inconsistent compared to purple or brown.
How the ACMI's with no cockpit door can take a JS'er out of the country but the FX/UPS can't is beyond me.

The flight was open I had a whole row to myself. However I had to buy the ID-90 that was equal to just over 200 bucks round trip and included all the taxes and everything. I don't know if this was because I was asking the wrong person or not but that is what the ticket agent at ATL said.

Well, one MINOR correction. Atlas will not take a JS'e to New Zealand. Has to do with a stipulation in their contract with AZ so it's not Atlas's fault.
I relation to your post above. Always a good idea to get there early (on BOTH ends) as well as grab some JS forms when leaving the US in case they have none where you are coming from. I know, probably not required anymore, but always a good idea to have them in case somebody on the other end decides to be a stickler about something.
