Preflop is fine. I don't like the flop bet, i think checking and see what developes and then calling unless its 2bets back to you and then i fold. I think a check/fold line is best for turn but it is close and also check/fold the river bcause your beat.

Given the preflop action (which is standard) I think bet/calling and check/calling the flop are pretty close. The big problem with check/calling is that your hand will be face up as AK. And sometimes you do still have the best hand, but that depends on reads.

Turn is an auto-call. You're getting 9.75:1 so folding is out of the question.

River is a pretty safe fold imo vs most villains. You will have to use your judgement and your reads though since the pot is offering you very good odds. You need to be completely sure that he doesn't do this with a worse/same hand.

I generally don't cap this heads up out of position, unless I have a specific reason to do so. There is no right answer here though after the flop. You don't give any information so it's just a guess based on what your typical unknown player will have here. He can basically play the river perfectly here though once you just call the turn. If you had an overpair you would have raised again somewhere and he probably knows that.

Turn call is good. River is pretty read dependent. With no reads I would probably call.

I ran some numbers

On the turn...
Against {66+} you have 11% equity on the turn
Against {66+,AK} you have 18% equity
Against {66+,AK,AQ} you have 30% equity

On the river...
Against {66+} you have 0% equity
Against {66+,AK} you have 8% equity
Against {66+,AK,AQ} you have 25% equity

I did that as well. If there is any chance he does this with less than a pair, you have to call because of pot size. I guess I would call here most times.

That statement is not quite correct. If there is a 5% chance he plays AK / AQ like this then it is not correct to call.
