Who Wins

Pre-6, you do not win the 2v2 if Nautilus lands his Q — his level 2 all-in with E root is lethal for you because you have no escape once grounded, and Yuumi's healing cannot compensate for the burst.
Post-6, you still lose the all-in because Nautilus's R into Jhin's R is a full kill combo, but you can win if you use your R to knock Nautilus away before his Q connects, breaking the engage entirely.

Your best trading pattern is to use your E to jump onto Jhin (the squishier, less tanky target) for short burst trades, then immediately E away before Nautilus can land his Q — Jhin cannot retaliate effectively in short windows and you force him to burn health without committing to a full fight.
Never stand still in lane; constant repositioning with E makes you significantly harder to Q.

You want to freeze or slow-push the wave near your side to deny Nautilus safe engage angles — a wave near your tower means Nautilus must walk deep into your range to Q, giving you time to react and jump away.
Avoid letting the wave crash into your tower repeatedly, as that forces you to stand still last-hitting under tower, which is exactly when Nautilus will look to Q you.

Do not use your R offensively to knock Nautilus away after he has already landed his Q and E — by that point you are already rooted and the knockback will not save you.
Save your R as a preemptive disengage tool the moment you see Nautilus winding up his Q approach.
