What does het % mean?

66% means it's 66% possible that it is het for stripe, 66% chance het amel, 66% chance het hypo etc... 33% chance that it is not.
This is how the 66% comes about.
Lets say you breed a normal het amel x normal het amel (Aa x Aa)
This results in AA, Aa, Aa, aa.
So the offspring are 25% AA (normal), 50% Aa (normal het amel), and 25% aa (amel)
However, there is no way to visually tell the difference between AA and Aa. So when we look at the outcomes again (AA, Aa, Aa, aa), and remove the one we know for sure which are the amels we are left with (AA, Aa, Aa). So 2 out of 3 of the normal offspring will theoretically be het amel. 2/3=66% So all the normal offspring in this clutch have a 66% chance of being het amel, 33% chance of not.
What you would get will end up depending on whether or not your anery is het stripe, amel, hypo, caramel...because there is a chance that it is not (and it's not an all or nothing thing, it could be het for a couple, and not het for the others, etc...)
Now, pinstripe is used so many different ways, do you know for sure what you are dealing with? When I think pinstripe I normally think of an animal that is genetically a motley (mm) but the pattern looks similar to a stripe. However, you also say that the 'pinstripe' is also "het stripe", for this to be possible it leads me to believe that what you have is a motley-stripe (ms), so that is how I will play this.
So what we know for sure is the anery x motley-stripe. This will result in 100% normals het anery and either het motley or stripe.
If your anery is het stripe, then you will also get some motley-stripes (ms) in the mix and some stripes (ss).
If your anery ends up being het hypo you should also get some hypo's in the mix because your motley-stripe is also het hypo.
If your anery ends up being het caramel then you should also get some caramels in the mix because your motley-stripe is also het caramel.
If your anery is het amel, then the offspring may or may not be het amel, but it is impossible to know if your anery is het amel without breeding it to another animal that is amel or het amel.

It's also possible to get animals which are 50% possible het.
This is done like.
normal (AA) x normal het amel. (Aa)
Offspring are AA, Aa, AA, Aa.
So 50% normal, 50% normal het amel. But since you can't visually distinguish between AA and Aa they would be labeled as normal 50% ph (possible het) amel.

There's a 33% chance that your Anery doesn't have all - or indeed, any - of those hets. He may just be a plain Anery. The outcome of breeding him to your female would depend on which of the hets he actually has (if any) and only a test breeding will start to sort that out.
