1. Will we go through customs in Canada before we can check into Japan Airlines flight?
2. When arriving back to Canada from Tokyo do we clear US customs in Canada or will we need to clear both Canadian and US customs on our way home?

Thank you for any advice you can provide!

Are the 2 flights on 1 ticket or are they 2 separate tickets? (DL & JL are in different alliances).
With separate tickets some airlines will not interline bags. So you need to pickup and then checkin with the next airline landside
If you need to pick up bags you will be processing immigration and customs for USA & Canada
