Heads up versus a good friend. We both made BIG mistakes?

My analysis;
1) I made an AWFUL call here. If i had the button, or a few callers in front of me, then maybe ok. But a terrible call here. I was getting impatient, made a bad call, got a good flop, and got myself into trouble.
2) one he hit his two pair, i think he played way too passively. exactly what does he need to cap the turn, and re-raise the river?

Thoughts.... Anything else?

Preflop is bad, open-limping in MP2 is not good. This is a spot where I'd either be open-raising or folding.

Postflop I think you played it fine.

Your friend's preflop call is a whole lot worse than yours though. Cold-calling with A6s suited?? Not good. I would cap the turn, but not raise the river. If I capped the turn and you led into me again, I think raising would be overboard.

EDIT: Didn't read what the friend had first time around.
