Villain seems loose passive, but I have less than 15 hands on her so I think I have to call down.

I don't see another way to play it.

What about raising on the turn? Is it possible that villain is betting a pair, rather than the straight? Misguided aggression?

I'd raise the turn, even if we're behind a straight we have outs to beat it (3 will counterfeit it).

seems fine to me. WA/WB, so i think the call down is the way to go. Certainly a good enough chance to see a weak pair here.

I think I raise this turn to see how UTG +1 reacts. If they don't re-raise I would be fairly certain the straight isn't out and he/she is probably betting either A6 or even an overpair.

Having not done that it does make the river a little tricky. Again I would probably raise simply because a 3rd flush card hits and a raise does have some fold equity at this point. A re-raise probably isn't something you want to see but I would certainly call it. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see a wide range of hands, some of which have you beat including an overpair, flopped set, a straight to the 6, 7 , or 8, and of course the flush.

Without much of a read and looking back on it you were probably outdrawn on the flop with a set but I think you played it pretty darn well. Just remember for every time you lose with AA you win at least 4 times.
