How thin is this value? -- 50NL

Villain is a beautiful 56/21/.71

While I don't doubt that I'm ahead of his range, am I ahead of his calling range to make this bet every time? Too small? I want him to bite with anything he might have, like a pr of 99s even...

I think I make my bets here too large sometimes, and feel if I make 'em smaller than can call with a wider range (bluff catchers) more often. This is the first that I've ever bet closer to 1/3 pot than half or more.

This is fine, I probably bet the turn though.

This looks okay - I usually check the river though. Villain will sometimes call with 99 or Jx, but it looks like he drew dead and probably fold unless he beats you. He's very passive and could just check/call down with Qx.
