It's a bit better than sugar, yes, and I suppose you would tend to eat less honey than sugar.

Jaggery though... I can't imagine it has a GI much different from sugar?

I think it's not just about GI, jaggery would have more GI, I am not sure, but you could think of another angle - jaggery is unrefined sugar retaining the dietary fibre - that could result in a lower GI also some other benefits which we might be still discovering.
