Does Behind These Hazel Eyes use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In F♯ minor: The minor four-chord pop progression (i → VI → III → VII) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:06. The familiar pop loop with its moodier chord in the spotlight. The Aeolian shuttle (VI → i) shows up in the pre-chorus at 0:32 and the chorus at 0:54. A minor home chord and its major VI trade places in a gentle light-and-shadow loop. The minor subtonic shuttle (VII → i) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and the verse at 0:15. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.
