My question is, does Finland consider one dose of Janssen (2 weeks or more prior) to be "fully vaccinated"? My understanding is that most countries do but some don't (I think someone mentioned that the Netherlands doesn't)
I actually did have covid back in December/January so I could theoretically get a recovery certificate if Finland doesn't consider me to be fully vaccinated (so I will have a recovery cert + 1 dose). But I actually don't know how to get that; I'd rather not go through the hassle if Finland considers me to be fully vaccinated.
Booster is not necessary if you got your second dose in last 270 days (that was mentioned in the first answer). But if you were vaccinated in early 2021, you do need a booster.

If you're flying XXX-YYY-ZZZ on a single ticket, and the entry requirements for ZZZ are stricter than for YYY, the fact that you're entering Schengen at YYY doesn't exempt you from complying with the entry regulations for ZZZ.
The point is largely moot nowadays because virtually all Schengen countries have removed entry restrictions, but it's important to know in case the situation re-escalates in the autumn.
It varies by country. For example, Sweden explicitly stated that they only take where you directly arrived from into account, even if it was just a transit country.
