NH! yeah too much imo, keep milking this, $25 maybe. You won't be giving good odds against a higher flush because they only have 6 outs.

I think you're up against combodraws or sets (maybe both). That being said and considering you're so deep stcaked, I don't particularly hate this line. Best case scenario is that button reraises you on turn. In fact, I like $40 very much here. $25 gives them 3-to-1 on a 4-to-1 shot (and if one calls, other gets immediate odds). Either way, you don't want to be in the uncomfy decision on river. Bet at least enough to put UTG all-in.

$35+ is fine.

I think you made your first raise on the flop too small. Because of that you had to make your bets proportionally bigger each time to make sure hand was protected against what looks like a boatload of redraws between the two villains. If your first raise was somewhere around a pot-sized raise, like $3.5, I think the money goes in more smoothly.

Also, you might consider raising pf.
