Good stuff. Jean Jacques teaches playing the z guard that Andre way, with the blocking knee shallow on the hip. It is an awesome way to control the entry into the half guard until you are sure you will establish a strong position.
I definitely don't like the low underhook. The JJ way is to raise your elbow really high --- that's the whole point of the underhook. He flares his elbow super high. In that picture, Andre isn't putting any pressure on the guy's tricep. It works much better to crank it, almost as though you were doing a sitout type maneuver (driving him forward with a high elbow).
Also thinking about trying the "web" underhook, with your hand grabbing the back of the arm, elbow tight. Slickness.
