If you use the remote file name syntax, the underlying operations are
directed to Tramp. You could redefine Tramp's method definition in order
to add "-A" to the ssh call. See variable `tramp-methods'.
The better solution would be to add the following entry to your
~/.ssh/config:
Host remotehost
ForwardAgent yes

Eshell is designed that file names used by "cd" work as everywhere else
in Emacs. The usual workaround "*cd /" to apply the corresponding
external command does not work, because "cd" is not related to an
executable file, but a shell built-in. What you ask for does not seem to
be possible in eshell yet. Maybe we should add a new eshell command
"chroot". Something like
chroot /ssh:username@host:/
Feel free to raise a change request towards Emacs/eshell via
`report-emacs-bug'.
