Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the lane if Poppy can land her E on you, because it removes your ability to follow up your own engage and leaves Vayne in a 1v2.
Your level 2 all-in spike (E-W) is your best window, but only if Poppy has not yet hit level 2 herself.
Post-6, your R is a strong initiation tool but Poppy's R can knock you and Vayne away from the fight entirely, so timing is critical.

Your best pattern is to E onto Jhin when Poppy is out of melee range or has already used her E, then W-stun him and let Vayne stack W.
If Poppy is standing next to Jhin, engaging is a losing trade because she will immediately counter-engage onto you.

You should roam if the wave is pushed to Jhin's tower and Poppy has used her R or E recently — those are your safest windows since Jhin cannot follow and Poppy's cooldowns are long.
Roaming at level 6 after a failed all-in is a mistake; only roam from a position of wave priority.

Do not use your E to engage when Poppy is within her E range of a wall — you will be immediately knocked into the wall and stunned, completely negating your engage and giving them a free kill window.
Patience and waiting for Poppy to misposition is more valuable than forcing an engage on cooldown.
