2) wanted to buy some sort of liquids while out (sunscreen and/or liquor) am I allowed to checked baggage coming back to airport?
For JAL you should be ok up to 24 hours checking bags through, and from what I've read (I've never tried this) you can actually request some bags to be tagged to NRT/HND and others to be tagged to your destination if you need specific bags for your layover. As to checking back in, you should be able to recheck those bags from NRT/HND to your destination.
