Fold or call on river? Should I have gone for a check-raise earlier in the hand?

I'm just learning the game, so I'm answering as much to get responses to my answer as I am to try to give advice to a player who's probably been at it longer than I have.

Fold the river; you're beat by a flush. I'd have folded on the flop because you've got 4 outs to a small boat for only half the pot.

Bet flop, bet or check turn, fold river.

Why bet flop? To get a counterfeited A2 to fold?

Is it possible that villain is betting A3?

I need to be correct x% of the time on the river to see a profit. How would I go about finding that x%?

Is it equivalent to the odds you are getting? For instance, in this particular hand, 7.5:1 divided by two = 3.75:1. So I need to be correct 21% of the time to show a profit? This doesn't seem right though.

I basically bet flop to charge flush draws.
