Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Samira lose the 2v2 against Jinx+Lulu because Lulu's E and W hard-counter your engage pattern — Lulu can polymorph you mid-dash or shield Jinx before Samira can stack her passive, and Jinx's range keeps her safe while you're grounded.
Post-6, the dynamic shifts in your favor: your R gives you a reliable engage tool that Lulu's W can only partially answer, and Samira's R becomes lethal once you land the initiation.

Your best trading pattern is to bait Lulu's W on yourself with a fake W approach, then immediately re-engage with your actual W once it's on cooldown — Samira needs that window to dash in and stack her passive freely.
Never commit your W into a Lulu who still has her W available, as the polymorph will cancel your engage and leave Samira overextended.

You should roam aggressively once you hit level 6, particularly when the wave is shoved into your tower and Samira can safely farm — your R+W combo can single-handedly win a mid skirmish or set up a river fight.
Avoid roaming when Jinx has priority and can dive Samira under tower, as Samira without peel is extremely vulnerable to Lulu+Jinx all-in.

Do not use your W reactively to escape or reposition — it is your only hard engage tool and wasting it defensively leaves you with no way to create the melee range Samira needs to function.
Lulu will punish every wasted W by immediately poking you down and denying Samira any trade opportunity.
