I don't think there's a reliable way to get the info you're looking for through the API. There is no component for a reference to an attribute group. The attributes just get absorbed into the complex type definition.
Remember that Xerces' XML Schema API provides a schema component centric view of an XML Schema. Often you can find ways to map back to XML schema document concepts, but that isn't possible in general. Thanks.
