I just want to confirm if I did the right thing on these hands : If my goal is to get to the final table, I need to be shoving these - right ?

1. Approaching bubble:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $5.00+$0.50 Tournament, 400/800 Blinds 75 Ante (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP2 (t12561)
MP3 (t27913)
CO (t56442)
Button (t101)
SB (t48407)
BB (t27565)
Hero (UTG) (t22935)
UTG+1 (t18296)
MP1 (t4571)

Hero's M: 12.23

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J
Hero bets t2400, 4 folds, CO raises to t6400, 3 folds, Hero ?????

2. I knew MP1 was tight over 24 hands - 13/13 . We were just approaching the last two tables.

Hand 1 - open for 2.5x BB (2000). Umm...as far as the action. I say just call here and see a flop. Pushing is too much and 4-betting is probably going to make the flop hard to play.

Hand 2 - I say shove and isolate.

This is another weak part of my game so I'm a little unsure about myself. I'd like to see what others say.

Hand 1 looks like a shove - we are too short to play a pot here postflop in a 3-bet pot, plus we are OOP.

Both look like shoves

Oh damn, i misread the stack size of Hand 1. I thought it was 220k. Yeah, shove is good on Hand 1.

hand one I shove w/o nitty reads with a 30bbish stack, I might fold with like 40bb+ effective...

hand two is a pretty easy shove imo...
