Villain had been raising about 65% of pots, but also had been catching some hot cards. Given that villain is reraiseing I give him just a little credit for a hand probibly low PP. Should a lay this down?

I'm really tight early so my instinct is to fold. I just don't want to be busted out by a guy with pck 2's

Something does not seem right with the HH (how is the pot only 915 if he raised 600 and you had more than 700?).

Let's say you raised 130 and he reraised 600. With no reads AQ is a fold here IMO.

Now, with your read "maniac": You have only a little left so you should not call. Push or fold? It's close.

IMO, if you have a maniac in front of you it might be better to just call with AQ instead of putting in 130. You'll see how much he is raising and more importantly what other players still to act are doing. If you call and he raises to 150 the players behind him might raise with semi good hands like medium pocket pairs or better and then you can safely fold. If they fold you might have more FE if you go all-in. If he is such a maniac and calls a reraise with any 2 you could also just call and see a flop and let him pay off if you catch a good flop.
