Depends how tight UTG and CO are. If they are typcial loose-passives then I call this every time.

I have been too. Just curious, what's your flop action on

1) Kh Jh 8s
2) Jc 8c 4s
3) Ah Jd 5c

With no reads, I'm generally folding this preflop. There's an UTG raise so you could be dominated here (or worse). If you flop a K or Q, you only have TPGK and two players (one being the PFR) waiting to act. This is a tough spot, so why play KQs under these conditions.

1 - lead
2 - lead or C/R
3 - C/F unless it's a small/min-bet and both call.

This is true in many cases. But, it still depends on how tight UTG and CO are. Against typical loose players, we have the best hand here.

while b/3b is a fine like for the second situation, what happens when you get raised in hand 1 if you lead the flop?

Fold or call and play poker. Situation dependent.

Bah KQs is sweet hand. But I only call depending on the initial villain's raising range. But generally I'm looking more from the flop than just top pair type of hands since I COULD be dominated against a tight player.

I think this is one of those "depends" kind of plays. EVERYthing depends on your opponents, that's why the game is so complex - if there was a single solution to this kind of problem, the game would be easy /images/graemlins/wink.gif Sometimes reraising here might be good in terms of squeezing - say, first player raises 30% of hands and the second one is tighter, but knows the first one has wide range... (yea, Harrington on Hold'em is good book).
