This is fine.

One could argue that raising the turn to protect yourself against overcards is a good idea but i think calling down is better. If he has a big ace you're miles ahead and you're better off gaining another bet on the river rather than making him fold. If you're behind you get the cheapest showdown by calling it down - I think you did it the best way.

Basically the turn-raise is only good if villain has something like KQ. Calling down is better against a broader range of hands.

I don't think a turn raise is good here. He'll fold overcards some of the time, and the rest of the time he'll get 3bet with an overpair or top pair or something. Just call down.

I think this is fine. Obviously pretty dependent on the SB -- sometimes I'll just call in the BB and then throw in a raise on the flop or turn. Given the preflop action, this seems pretty standard.

I play it the same.

I might raise the turn sometimes, but probably not against this opponent. It looks like he is really aggressive or has better hand.
