Also, with the TAG calling me down, doesn't that show weakness? His aggression postflop was over 2, so I fully expected to be ahead of him, reasoning that he would be raising with an overpair, and unlikely to have hit the raggedy flop after raising preflop.

This only shows weakness if the TAG has the same read that you do on the two limpers, and/or feels that you aren't capable of raising him on the flop with an underpair.
I intimated at it above, but any time you have a paired flop without a lot of draws available and it goes bet/raise/cold-call, that sets off alarm bells in a huge way. A very significant portion of the time the coldcaller is holding trips or a flopped boat; it's less likely here because you know that the two limpers are loose/passive calling stations, but if the PFR doesn't know that, that could slow him down with an overpair.
