If we had raised pre-flop to $1.50 there would be $3.25 in when he checked the flop. Then we could have bet $3 and the villain's minraise would be $6. Now we're looking at calling $3 in a $12 pot instead of $5 in a $20 pot. Is it just by newbiness or might some pot control against this weak player helped us to make this particular decision?

No, because he's gonna call with a lot less and we want to build pots vs fish as opposed to pot controlling.

What about the theory that when playing against an opponent who plays poorly we want the money to go in as slow as possible, while playing against a better player we want to get it in fast to avoid being outplayed?

That should be amended to say that "when playing against an opponent who plays poorly we want the money to go in as fast as he'll let us". We don't wanna slowplay, we wanna build pots. So we bet as much as he'll call and nothing more - we still wanna play our hands fast.
