What FAA Regulation/s would be violated?

I am not familiar with FAA regulations, so help me on this one.
The facts are:

An Australian registered aircraft on a flight (1) within the continental USA and (2) a flight from continental USA to Hawaii.

An Australian CFI who also has a US licence is Pilot In Command. His Flying School in Australia is NOT authorized to conduct flying training outside of Australia.

The aircraft is a Mooney Ovation with Garmin 1000 and has CSU and retractable U/C, and is flown on an Australian "Special Flight Permit" for the purpose of delivery to Australia, and has a FAA Flight Authorization for flight within the USA.

Both Australian and USA Flight Authorizations states "essential flight crew only".

Carried on the aircraft is an Australian student pilot who has an Australian licence with 3 solo circuits under his belt, no US licence, and not endorsed on CSU or retractable U/C.

Are there any circumstances where the CFI may allow the student to fly the aircraft in the USA? May the CFI give instruction prior to and during the flight? What about the flight from mainland to Hawaii - is it any different?

Would the student meet the requirement for "Essential Flight Crew" and if not, why not?

What FAA regulations would be breached if the student were to fly the aircraft in the USA for take-off, cruise and landing?
