Hello
Keep in mind that there are only two border crossings from Israel to Jordan. Be prepared for at least one hour of going through the border and you should exchange money there, but not too much if you are with a tour group, as most expenses are covered.
Tour buses come with security personnel and I haven't heard of any problems with tourists being harrassed.
However, I was there in May 2000, before recent events may have changed some attitudes towards Americans and perhaps foreigners in general. I'm not trying to discourage going there, but I would read up on the web to find out what the current social/political climate is just to be on the safe side. Not passing judgement on the kind people of Jordan... just a suggestion.
Have fun!
