Default 50NL: Interesting hand SSNL may appreciate

This should go in micro, most likely, but the hand has a few interesting concepts (at least to me), and the input here is probably gonna be better. I'll post in micro too:

NL50

UTG, Villain1 ($49.50)
Hero ($66.30)
CO ($25.60)
SB ($43.00)
BB, Villain2 ($50.00)

Reads: Villain1 has been at table for 20 minutes, this will only be his second raise in three hands. He has cont. bet a few small pots BUT didn't cont. bet into a three way on a loaded board of K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He thought about it though.

Villain2: Very weak-passive player who's extremely predictable.

Hero: Has been aggro, open raising with good hands, showed down one hand 1010 on a 3 2 9 9 9 board.

Hand: Villain1 raises to $1.75, Hero with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] calls, Villain3 calls.

Analysis: I don't really want to 3-bet here - I think I take villain1 off his worse hands, I suspect he may be strong here, if an A or K comes up, I think I get value off cont. bets and can rope-a-dope a little.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot $5.50)

BB checks, Villain bets $4, Hero calls 4, BB folds

Question 1: I really didn't want to raise here, if villain comes over the top, I'm in a bad spot. I know Villain2 is still in hand, but I couldn't give a [censored], his play will be nice and predictable. Correct?

Turn: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot: $13.50)

Villain checks, Hero bets $6, Villain mini-raises to $13, Hero ?

I bet $6 because I expect Villain to call with Kd or something, think I'm weak, etc. If he goes over the top, I probably call, as this looks like a missed flush now smelling weakness. But he knows I'm aggressive and this mini-raise threw me off. Do I AI here or just call?

River: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain takes a while and checks, Hero checks behind. If villain pushes, Hero _______ ?
