Default laying down A high flush draw/A high flush as big stack

Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker and player, but this is my first post of a hand. It's really bugging me and I'm just curious how others would play. Let me know if I'm not posting correctly....

This hand is in early-middle part of a $55 MTT on stars, I've got a big stack, top 15 out of 500+ players. Two times average stack. Laying down without calling the push on the river would make me 1.5 average stack. Calling and losing would make me 2/3 average stack.

PokerStars Game #12823920390: Tournament #64650375, $50+$5 Hold'em No Limit - Level IV (50/100) - 2007/10/24 - 17:52:05 (ET)

After the cr on the flop I suspect I'm against two pair or better, small chance of being against a straight draw or flush draw.

Q1: Fold, call or push after the cr?

Q2: Assuming I called after the cr on the flop, after the post oak bet from villain on the turn, call, fold or push? I strongly suspected he filled up, put me on a flush draw, and was hoping I would call and hit the flush on the river, but also considered the bet might be a blocking bet if he was on a weaker flush draw or had a straight.

Q3: Assuming I call the turn and hit the flush on the river, and he pushes. Call or fold?
