I'm not sure what "code it as such" means here. There's no MARC code
to indicate rules for a single name field; descriptive rules are coded
at the record level. We could add an identifier in $0 linking the bib
heading to an authority where the rules were encoded--is that what's
intended? And would use of $0 identifiers be an exception for AACR2
headings in RDA records, or general practice for all headings with
matching authorities?
Also, I agree with Casey Mullin--RDA tells how to narrow the scope of
a heading for an expression, but it doesn't give clear guidance on
when in general that's appropriate. Presumably that's the sort of
policy decision which could vary among different implementations of
RDA and FRBR. We need guidance on this point, but what I've seen
(e.g., the LCPS on preserving year as a qualifier for Works uniform
titles) suggests an intent to continue past policy in this area, which
would mean using expression work identifiers at a more general level
than Bob Maxwell calls for.

If in your second example, the new subordinate entity was not Tobacco Advisory Group, but the Department of Tobacco Advice, would a library doing RDA cataloging establish a hybrid heading ($a=AACR2 and $b=RDA)?

I assume the PCC still wants us to use the form of name in the 1XX field in our bibliographic record. Are we expected to add 7XXs for the AACR2 form of the name? And what happens if you need to use an RDA authority record as a building block for a new AACR2 heading? How would that resulting authority record get coded?

RDA forms may be added to 7XX fields in the authority records, particularly when the heading form would be different. Examples:

Presumably we are to use the RDA form in the 1XX of those records (and in the RDA bib record), but what if that form differs from the AACR2 form on the related authority record? E.g.
