Was this AQs call and flop raise ok?

These are the notes I took on the villain with my 20 mins of play:

"Makes pot-size bet on flop with mid-pair when in late position. Does not respect raises. Min-raises with AXs"

Was this properly played? Should I have waited to raise him and allowed him to bluff perhaps?

EDIT: I know nothing much happened on this hand. But I end up getting confused with little things and start doubting my choices.

standard IMO

I dont play much SH poker but this seems fairly standard doesnt it?

I mean there are times Ill call a raise full tables with AQs its a big hand.

Raise way more. His weak lead is most likely an AK that missed or a scared JJ, but he could easily have a couple diamonds in his hand (AJ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, AK/images/graemlins/diamond.gif).

Also, that is a pretty huge PF raise, and I would probably fold this without any good reads, unless you know he will raise that much without AK/AA/KK/QQ, which you have nothing about in your notes.
