What other thrust setting would you think would be appropriate given you have selected FLCH and have deliberately taken the thrust and pitch part of the autoflight system out of go around mode?

In your scenario above AA you are now simply asking the system to perform a “standard” FLCH climb where the thrust is metered to try and get you to the required altitude (as set in the MCP) in two minutes...or if it can’t achieve that rate of climb because of the magnitude of the climb the auto thrust will set full climb thrust.

I’m pretty sure the flap position is irrelevant....
