Yeah, raise more pre-flop. You want to deny Button the odds to call with a hand like 77 and hit a set.

With a pot of $3.10 on the flop, I c-bet around $2.00. That's more in line with what I would bet if I had made a set of aces.

And since an A came on the flop, Button called your c-bet and you're OOP for the rest of the hand, you've got to check it down. I usually fold to a bet on the turn and call a reasonable-size bet (~half the pot) on the river.

PF raise is fine.

I bet more on the flop, something like 2/3 pot. His call could mean an A or a PP like JJ.

I would bet the turn, but now this is getting read dependent and table image dependent. You might get Arag to lay down and you surely would get a PP other than 77 or TT to lay down.

Checking the river, as played, sure looks like weakness and if I was villain I would bet 2/3 pot here with anything and you would have to lay down. A blocking bet might be a good move on the river. But this again is read dependent.

There are lots of ways to play hands like these and most of the time the best way to proceed depends on the reads.
