If I recieved 2 NJP's while in the Marine Corps and they decide to let me stay in, am i still getting an honorable discharge when i finish my enlistment?
As long as you do not do anything else, you should be good. You should check to see if they put a bar to reenlist on you. If they do, you cannot reenlist. This is sometimes done in lieu of discharging you. Make sure that you keep all copies of paperwork in regards to this in case you need them later on.
While a bar to reenlist does not result in a dishonorable discharge, it can prevent you from reenlisting in the guard or reserve later on. In addition a bar does show up on your discharge paperwork. It is a re code. If you have an re code of a 4 your are permanently barred. While most employers do not know what an re code is, some do and that can weigh on employment later on. Those who look at re codes include government contractors and government employers.

If they don't kick you out earlier, you get an honorable discharge. Even being denied reenlistment gets you an HD.
Btw, NJP's don't even get transferred to a new assignment if you don't turn in your PIF. And whoopsy, you can lose your PIF en route.
Yes.
