should i have reraised preflop and hope to see the flop headsup?... do i call the flop?

in a 6-max game i would have raised preflop and bet out on the flop, but since you didn't do that preflop i would probably fold it.

I think you have to lead this flop and call if raised. You have the 5th nut flush draw (I know that's no major prize, but it just might take the pot) and 2nd pair. Villain could have a K and he could be taking a stab at the pot on a scary board. We don't know because we didn't put him to the decision first.

Out of position I don't mind just calling the raise from the BB preflop. It's a 6max table anyway, so I doubt you fold the limper by 3-betting (anyone who limps from UTG on a 6max table doesn't inspire much respect from me).

When I call preflop, I'm planning to c/r any non-A, 1 or 0 overcard flop. The three hearts does nothing to change that.
