Both phrases are a little slang.

"Pretty much" means "basically, roughly, generally, overall". In this example, you could use any of those words for the same meaning.

"I owe you one" is slang. It means "I owe you a favor" or "I am in your debt." In this example, A is grateful for J's help. So it is a way of saying thank you.
