Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Yunara lose the all-in but win the poke war — your R-Q poke with shield sustain can chip Nautilus and Hwei down over time, but if Nautilus lands a hook the CC chain kills Yunara before your shield compensates.
Post-6, Yunara's R makes extended fights much stronger for your side, but Nautilus post-6 all-in with Hwei burst is still a one-shot threat if your shield is on cooldown.

Your pattern is to R-Q poke Nautilus specifically to keep him low and discourage hook attempts, then immediately W-shield Yunara whenever Nautilus steps forward aggressively; shielding Yunara before the hook lands rather than after is the difference between surviving and dying.
Do not use R for damage when you need it for the shield — prioritize R-W on Yunara in dangerous moments.

You should roam when Yunara has R available and the wave is shoved to their tower, because Yunara can hold the lane alone with R active and your roam mid with R-Q can create significant pressure; optimal timing is after a successful poke pattern that forces Hwei or Nautilus to back, leaving Yunara in a safe position.
Do not roam when Nautilus has his Q up and Yunara is pre-6 without R, as she will be immediately dove.

Do not over-commit to poke at the cost of your shield cooldown — if you spend R on a Q poke and Nautilus immediately hooks Yunara, you have no empowered shield available and she dies.
Manage your R cooldown around Nautilus's positioning, not around maximizing your own damage output.
