In this specific case I think set hunting is marginal, I dont think calling is bad, and I think the options are calling or pushing.
I agree that flat calling the raise is a bit thin if it's only for set value, but 99 has some overpair value and there are a lot of one overcard flops that I'd be comfortable shoving given that we have postflop position if opp checks or makes a c-bet. Eg. I'd shove a Txx, Jxx, Qxx and possibly Kxx flop, but would probably fold on an A high flop or if two rather than one overcards came on the flop.

I think I just push it, hoping I can get him to fold Ax if x<Q
Agreed, with Hero's stack size I am either folding or shoving on the flop, re-raising is no good considering Hero has 500 chips behind. I don't think a low buyin opp ever folds Ax on this flop so I choose fold.
