Who Wins

Pre-6, you have a strong level 2 hook spike and your E slow can set up Zeri's poke pattern effectively — however, Neeko's level 2 E root is equally threatening and if she lands it on you, Jinx can freely auto you down since you are a melee support with low base armor.
The 2v2 pre-6 is hook-dependent for both sides; the team that lands CC first wins the trade.
Post-6, Neeko's R is a significant threat to you specifically since you are slow and cannot dash out of it, making the 2v2 post-6 slightly unfavorable unless you hook Jinx before Neeko can channel.

Hook Jinx when she steps up to last-hit or use Q on Neeko when she is out of position — Jinx is the primary kill target because she has no mobility and dies quickly once hooked.
After landing a hook, immediately use E to slow the target further and allow Zeri to dash in for the kill; do not waste your hook on Neeko if her clone is nearby.

Roam when the wave is pushed to the enemy tower and Zeri can safely freeze or maintain the wave alone — your hook is one of the strongest roam tools in the game and a mid hook can snowball the game significantly.
Avoid roaming when Neeko is missing from the lane, as she may be setting up a dive on Zeri with Jinx, and Zeri cannot 1v2 safely without your presence.

Do not stand in a predictable position where Neeko can land her E on both you and Zeri simultaneously — her root hitting both of you gives Jinx a free extended trade that you cannot recover from.
Spread positioning with Zeri so that a single Neeko E cannot CC both of you, and always track Neeko's clone before committing to an aggressive play.
