Villain is TAGish but sit only 2 orbits at the table so might have a wrong view on him.

I definately was thinking that i shouldn't bet river cuz i couldn't call a raise..Still i bet out which i think was a mistake. Should i bet flop? turn? If so, what's a good amount to bet here? Like 3/4 pot?

Bet the flop. You showed alot of strength preflop and he's most likely folding. If he calls or raises then you can reevaluate but you dont want to be in there with an overpair not knowing where you stand.

Bet the flop, half pot to full pot. If he has a diamond we don't want to give a free card, we want him to pay us off when he doesn't hit.

Bet the flop. You don't get any information by checking and you have to make him pay if he is drawing. You will also quite often win the pot there.

Having checked the flop, I would bet the turn for same reasons as above.

As played you have given the straight and flush draws two free cards, plus there is an overcard and you have no idea where you stand, so I would probably check the river.

I don't really get the line why you folded the river. After two C/C's, do you really think he's trying to check raise you with a better hand than yours on the river ?!?
Without cnsidering the fact you should have bet the flop and checked the river behind, I would defenitely call this river CR.
