Who Wins

Pre-6, Nautilus + Hwei wins this 2v2 because your hook threat combined with Hwei's CC chain hard punishes Yunara's immobility before she has R — Leona can engage but Yunara has no escape and Hwei's damage is front-loaded enough to follow up decisively.
Post-6, Yunara's R makes extended fights dangerous for you since her splash damage and sustained output scale past your burst window, so you need to land hook into immediate kill pressure rather than letting the fight drag into her R duration.

Your best trading pattern is to bait Leona's E+Q engage by staying at medium range, then immediately counter-hook Yunara the moment Leona commits — Yunara has no dash pre-6 and cannot escape your chain of Q into auto+E passive stacks.
Hwei should follow with his CC combo the instant you land hook, because the kill window on Yunara is short and she will die before Leona can peel if you execute quickly.

Push the wave hard early to deny Yunara passive stack farming and force her to walk up under pressure — she needs extended auto sequences to ramp, so a fast-pushed wave under tower disrupts her rhythm significantly.
After shoving, look to roam or set up vision in river because your hook range makes you a constant threat to mid if Hwei can hold the wave briefly.

Do not blindly hook Leona when she walks up — Leona is the bait and Yunara is the kill target, so misdirecting your hook onto the tankier support wastes your primary engage tool and lets Yunara farm safely.
Hooking Leona also means you are now in melee range of both enemies with your main CC on cooldown, which is exactly the scenario Leona wants.
