TT and an EP limp-rr

Button is 40/10/1 and seems pretty passive. Bluff-raised once on the turn with a hand he should've folded preflop.
UTG is my favorite maniac, 50/40 - this is the first time I have ever seen him limp.

1) I usually cap preflop, but I called here. I want the ability to isolate UTG on many flops and bail quickly on some really bad ones. I think it is likely he has some kind of hand here. What do you think?

2) Interesting flop action. I bet/called - OK?

3) After the flop action, I was convinced that the combination of UTG sandbagging and Button holding a better hand was too great. If the turn blanked, I wanted to check, planning to call when UTG called/folded to Button's bet (Button is a little weird). If the turn came higher, I planned to check and fold to a single bet unless it was a heart. The black jack, I felt, was a tricky card.

How is my plan?
If UTG raises, do you always fold?

I would fold the turn UI since you described button as passive your beat 90% of the time here i think.
If he isn't known to isolate raise with flush draws but I have found that to be a rare strategy from loose passives.
