Default Overcards with AK on the Flop & Turn

Paradise 2/4 (10 Handed)

Reads: UTG is a tight, thinking player, Button and SB will play any Ace, paint cards or pocket pair.

Preflop : Hero is UTG+1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG raises, Hero reraises, 5 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls

Flop (13 SB): 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB folds, UTG calls

Turn (8.5 BB):T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero ???

Two questions:

1. With UTG not capping preflop, I feel confident that I am not looking at AA/KK here. My thinking here with raising with my two overcards is that I would like to chase out the Button and SB if they have pocket pairs and not give them the chance to nail a set on the turn (or river). I'd also like to drive out the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] if possible if someone holds it but it isn't a suited Ace. Is this correct or am I spewing?

2. If I raise the turn against this thinking player, am I spewing or is there enough of a chance he can laydown a hand like QQ/JJ?
