Default NLD & NFD vs Top Set: Push?

There are four questions involved with my post.

Villain multitables and is fairly tight. I think it would be safe to assume that he knows what he is doing. His preflop pot raise in early position leads me to believe that he has pockets aces. I am in the BB and decide to call to see the flop heads up.

I figure with my nut flush draw with nut low draw with nearly perfect counterfeit protection is good enough to go to war. I decide upon the check raise to get more money in the pot. After his pot bet of the flop, I am pretty sure he has pocket aces. At this point, I am ahead by a hair, 51.2% to 48.8%.

1. What would you do in this spot and why?

Afterwards, I considered this play:
A. Check calling the flop to see if the turn paired the board, if so, fold.
B. If a low card, low or high club comes, jam
C. If a non-club high card comes, check/call or check/fold

2. Would you consider or have you ever executed this alternative play?
3. Does this alternative play have the stench of weak tight/calling station written all over it?

Maybe my following analysis is too results oriented, but I could have saved myself $46.10 with the alternative play.

4. Do you avoid marginal situations such as these and wait for a better spot or do you love big pots and stacking people and why?
