But if all runs smoothly, we should be able to make our second flight with almost 3 hours between flights. Correct?
You need to change terminals in Narita, provided you have no hold luggage or your luggage is checked through, there is an airside bus between the terminals. You will need your onward boarding pass for this bus.
If you have luggage that is not checked through, and pending no delays, it is still a reasonable connection. Even if you have to go through immigration twice, and wait for luggage and have customs clearance. If you need to reclaim luggage, you will need to enter Japan, so make sure you have a passport or a visa that allows that
ANA may actually check luggage through to JAL. Though there is no guarantee you will be successful.
As pointed out, as you are on separate tickets, you will be a no show in case of a delay on the first flight, and you need to consider if you want to run that risk.
