You had the best hand when the money went in every time - that's all you can do. You can't control the results, so don't stress out over them.

To answer your questions -

1. Why do you want to "price out" the villain? You want him calling/raising with worse hands, which is what happened each time.

2. You want to get as much money in with the best hand as you can - minimizing your losses will also minimize your wins when your hand holds up (which it will more often than not)

3. See #2 - if you were blowing people out of the pot with your enthusiasm to get your chips in, that would be one thing, but I don't see that happening here.

You played them all fine. Don't worry about it, and move on.
