It's possible that he flopped a flush or a set and was slowplaying, but then why not raise the turn? It's possible he has a 7 as well, in which case you might actually lose this hand. However, it seems likely to me that he was either trying to scare you off the hand or is an idiot.

To hell with calling, I'm raising.

Usually he's raising a slowplayed flush. Mediocre small stakes players love to slowplay.

I think it's close, but I think it's very reasonable that a loosepassive player wouldn't raise the turn "to see if the flush hits" and also because "they might already be beaten". I also think you'll see A7 here a lot. The third player in on the river makes it closer, but he seems passive enough to play a small flush this way. I think this is just a call.

Uh, why?

Just call. Your hand isn't good often enough to reraise.
