Similar in that there are no customs or immigration inspections. Unlike some US airports, the baggage carousels are in the sterile area.
If you fly ANA domestic to HND, you might have a long walk after you deplane. You will collect your bags, and then leave the sterile area through a one-way door. (You cannot go back to the baggage carousel after you leave the sterile area). Then you will take a shuttle bus or monorail to the International Terminal.

I think 2.5 hours for a connection from Domestic to International is do-able, but if your flight to HND is delayed by an hour, you will miss the window to check luggage. I think AA check-in desks will close an hour before departure.
