Like with an open-ended straight + flush draw vs an over, isn't that still only 14 outs, a 30% chance of winning? That's less than 1 in 3 times you'll come out on top so even if you win once, you still lost the other times. I know I'm missing something that I don't understand as a beginner, so what is that?

14 outs means about 28% chance of hitting on the next card. But if you get it in on the flop you get two shots at hitting. Close enough to 14x2x2= you can see why it's never a bad thing being flop allin with such a monster draw.
in the hand you posted there are 14 outs, count them. Villain has a set here sometimes, so count the outs and do the math on that to - just cos you may find it useful. Even better, put villain on a range here - I like 33/55/JJ/AJ/KJ/QQ+ and see how you go against that range when you chuck this flop and your hand into pokerstove.
as for opening AJs from UTG+1, it's fine I guess, but don't go too much wider. Especially when you don't know how to play it when you hit a board like this one.
Well chosen hand, good questions, you're on the way.
