Ok - here's my second question:

Why are you just calling the flop? By not raising preflop, you did nothing to narrow down the list of possible hands you're up against - could be just about any two decent cards at this point. On the flop, you've hit TPTK and he bets into you again with what looks like a fairly standard-sized bet. By calling, you've again done nothing to get any information about his hand - that continuation bet could be with total air, it could be a set, it could be a draw, it could be an overpair.

From my (possibly ignorant) point of view, you're ceding control of the hand, turning into a calling station, and getting no information about your opponent's hand.
