Default Blind Defense - Strategy Question

I have been defending against last position blind stealing more recently and am wondering if calling or raising is really "blind defense".

When a TAG on the button raises first in I assume that he is stealing (as I often do) and wonder if I should worry about being dominated (KT, A9, etc.) in this situation. I see 3.5 to 1 odds (rake does have effect in these small pots which I will ignore for now) and that many hands become playable for those odds.

For example I am in the BB with 66 a TAG on the button opens, SB folds; raise or call in this situation?

For the 3.5 to 1 odds you get how much discount does the hand have for being out of position?

Finally, is it too tight weak to fit and fold on the flop? I find check-fold or check-raising is usually the way to play after calling the pre-flop raise since the TAG will always come out betting regarding of whether the flop helped him or not.

I know this post is somewhat generic, but how good does your hand have to be to reraise in the blinds versus just calling?

Thanks.
