Firstly, i would just fold this preflop and be rid of it. However since you now have top pair and a decent kicker it becomes interesting. I think you should reraise here, but not as much as you did, the only way he can call you here is if he has you beat, and i dont think he will fold any hands that beat you. If he is extremely timid he might fold KJ and possibly AJ, but i dont think enough people do that to make this worth it.

Do you regard his half pot flop bet as strength or weakness?

It doesn't really matter. You can't fold TPMK here HU to a SB steal for a single bet. Half-pot to me signals weakness, I want to steal the pot and be done with this....

This is really standard.

I also call the preflop raise from SB in position.
