Re: 3 hands, 3 questions.
Hand 1: If he's got top pair and no redraw, you've got 7 outs. You're getting 8.5-1, and you're 6.5-1 to improve, provided your opponent doesn't have AK or AT. There are other situations that exist that would significantly cut down your pot odds, but since this is the most likely scenario you're up against, I would call and see the river.
Hand 2: The PF raise is fine, and I'm OK with the flop call, but the turn and river play is atrocious. The worst of players will call raises with KTo, and I'll take a flyer on KJs and I don't know a person alive who would fold TT for two cold, and all those hands crush yours.
Had you not smooth-called the turn, you probably wouldn't have gotten into the raising war on the river. The board is paired, so any resistance should be taken seriously. Action here indicates strongly you're toast. If you lost, you wasted at least one BB, maybe more. And no way should you be capping this river.
Hand 3: Bet the river and fold to a raise.
