$ uname -a
will tell you for sure what kernel arch you are running (along with
some other stuff).  What exactly are you doing that won't work?

They certainly do have a 64-bit RHEL.  Says right here under Platforms:

Well, you paid for RHEL, right?  Go ask Redhat; you paid for support. 
This list comes for free and RH can probably answer your question.  No
