I have a few questions:
I'm wondering if a raise of this amount was appropriate in this situation?
How much should you raise when there are a few limpers to you?
Do you call the small stacks all in?

I would say that you are putting in way too much money PF. You should be putting in T150 (3BB).

that way you can fold on the flop without too much trouble.

You could also jsut limp PF and fold when the A or Q doesn´t come.
