I know Q2o sucks, but for only t5 more (assuming BB doesn't raise) I complete here after limpers all the time in level one. Bad?

I figured I had a chance to double up early, so I wanted to keep people in. I thought button’s raise could mean anything – an attempt to steal based on my weak bet, maybe a small pair or A3 or a heart draw. I still wanted to keep him in, so only called his raise. Too greedy? Should I have reraised here?

a third heart worried me, I wanted to knock him off a single heart draw. Should I have check-raised here instead?

Do you even consider folding to his all-in re-raise? I figured a pocket pair was as likely as a made flush, couldn’t see folding getting 2:1 with 10 outs...
Any comments will be appreciated.
