I don't like preflop at all, given your position, blinds and stack size. I would push the turn if I'd played the hand they way you have.

No, I push preflop. Especially with that limper, he just sweetens the deal.

With 12bb, I might just go ahead and push this preflop although I think calling here is ok. I think the flop is fine. On the turn, I'm a little bit worried about someone playing AX making 2 pair, but I probably push here.

With t125 in the pot when it gets to you preflop I push this at the 22s.

I push this & love that I have a limper.

Does anyone raise here?

I don't like raising 2.5bb (21%) or 3bb (26%) of my stacks, I would definately open push to get it heads up. I could be wrong but in a similar position in a 1000 chip game, does anyone simple raise here?

Push preflop, and I don't think it's close.

Preflop I would make it t200, and if called push on most flops. Normally I play 55s, so by pushing preflop I'm usually only getting called by coinflips or hands that have me beat, and the occasional aj or at. By making is t200 you might get a call from a hand you have crushed, and since you have only 585 you need to take a few chances to get chips. The 125 in the pot isn't incentive enough to push imo. I'd rather make the standard raise, and hope to get called by a worse hand. Assuming I am called, I would push on that flop, since it's pretty ragged, although a pair may call you hoping you have AK or AQ.

So you make it 200, leaving you with 385. If someone else pushes, do you call? If you would not call, then I wouldn't raise 35% of your stack to begin with -- I'd fold. If you would call, then why not just push now?
