I agree that there is positive equity in that, but assuming the guy has a small pair on the board, he probably has minimum 5 outs to outdraw. In addition, if an A or K hits the river and you think you will fold to an all in, there's probably now 11 cards that could hit / 25% of the deck, where you either lose the $150 pot to a river bluff or also stack off your other $225, in addition, if the guy hits. And, the dude might not actually shove a blank river with a small pair, maybe his over 2x pot bet was a put up or shut up bet to take down a small pot and now he's done. Depends on his history with two barrel bluffing turns and rivers on checked flops, but his hand could be disguised depending on the river.
If you got a read he's weak, I don't hate the $225 shove to take the now $150 pot (after the $60 call) 100% of the time, even if there is additional positive equity on the rest of your money going in on a bluffed river. 100% equity is hard to argue if you know it's good.
As for folding the Aces, can't do it if you play it that coy, not good. Asian lady has to think QQ or KK is good there, and those hands are more likely, with more possible combinations, than JJ. And based on her description, I think putting 13% of her stack in with a small pocket pair, pre flop, on the first hand she played, is extremely unlikely. Ignore the outcome from the spoiler, always call here, it's a long term game.
