What is going on?
If you need a small PDF file, save a copy as PDF.
Turn Off Illustrator editing capabilities and set the compression options in the save dialog.
You can get the same small pdf as from InDesign

A jpeg file uses compression.
The jpeg image will be uncompressed when used in Illustrator.
The image will be embedded in the PDF part of the Illustrator file and maybe also in the Illustrator part.
