Nice job Hart. 
 
To answer your question there is a good chance I would have messed this up, I'll tell you why and how. When the action came to me PF I'm quite sure I would have reraised, this because I'm not really a fan of JJ, so I like to know where I stand and I do that by reraising PF. In this case most likely, depending on how villain plays, he might have reraised again (its not a sure thing though, some tricky players would just smooth call) and I would have folded knowing that JJ wasn't enough and I was behind, losing out on this nice pot you made.
 
Reason why I'm not crazy about JJ is that over 50% of the time the flop will bring at least 1 overcard forcing me to make painful decisions, and being OOP in this hand I'm 100% sure I would have reraised PF, because a reraise is generally less expensive than check/calling all the way to the river. That is not to say you should have done it. Your system is also good, call the standard raise and in case of trouble you can escape w/o getting hurt too much.
 
About the way you played after the flop, I think its fine. Your goal was to get his whole stack and you accomplished just that. Probably though I would have just called or minraised his flop raise, just to make sure I didn't lose him right there. 
 
Well played anyway, nicely done.
