Table is really loose with little raising preflop. Played right? River check ok?

Bet the river.

Whether to limp first in with a small pocket pair is depending on the aggressiveness of the table. Once it's raised preflop it's an easy call.

Your 3-bet on the flop is fine but I would have considered raising BBs bet right away.

On the river I think that it is a rather easy value bet.

Looks OK. I'd often just raise the flop here though. I realize every time I'll raise with something like J9 here and get cold called in two spots that it's just missing bets by slowplaying stronger hands. But it worked out very well.

I think you really need to bet this river and call a raise.

I agree, weak play on the river.

I can see that it's correct raising the flop in this large pot. But if the pot wasn't raised preflop, would a flop call be in order then?

A smaller pot would certainly be a good argument for a flop call, yes.

My usual action with 33 there, is to fold. Loose-passive table changed my mind.
