b) I don't mind putting in the majority of my stack when I know for sure I'm ahead (typically no more than 60-40, but against some hands, notably ones which I have blocked or semi-blocked (like ones containing an ace, lower flush draws to the one I hold etc) it might be more than that)
and c) I dramatically reduce the implied odds for my opponent, which can sometimes be a powerful tool when playing against a re-raise preflop (for instance, I sometimes relax my calling requirements against some opponents preflop if they make a re-raise and there's money left behind, say they get $30 in on a $100 table, I'll see the flop with a wide variety of hands, because the opponent will be very transparent and easy to play against, I know the likely types of flops I can bluff on, I know when a relatively mediocre flop makes me favourite or +EV to get to the felt with him on the flop, and I'm not likely to be surprised very often by what he flips up; wacky sets or straights coming from seemingly out of nowhere are unlikely as I know two of his cards are aces. Even though he's got 30% of his stack in as a slight favourite, the energy of the hand lies with me because I have a huge advantage for the remaining 70% of our stacks we have to play with, especially if I hold position).

The hand is certainly plenty strong, but I don't like this limbo area where you have more than maybe 15% of stack but less than 50%. That's imo where it's easy to lose a lot of money on AA, even such a strong one as this. Now, it's almost impossible to let your JJ set go...
