It is completely fine for her to not travel to Hawaii to see him. He lied to his parents about this for some reason when there is no logical explanation if he wasn't involved.
this is one detail that i think has been overlooked, for a few reasons.
1. mantei obviously lied to his dad about lennay coming to hawaii. hard for him to explain this away as a catfishing.
2. why choose this as a spot to lie, though? as you mentioned it would be perfectly acceptable if she was never able to make the flight to hawaii. the best i could come up with is that mantei and lennays alleged meetings took place at vacation resorts a distance from his family home, and were actually a cover for rendezvous' with tuiasosopo.

Weird is the people who supposedly listened in on the fake gf's brother delivering the bad news. w/e. going to bed.
this seems suspicious to me. how often do you have anyone else listening in on a phone call? however, if he were to orchestrate this as the endgame, he might have this "brother" call when he is around some teammates so they would overhear the conversation and corroborate his story.

a good point. in addition to not going to see her on her deathbed, he didn't make an attempt to attend the love of his life's funeral.
