Betting such a small amount, leaving us an even smaller amount on the river just doesnt make a ton of sense to me. Basically decided what to do depends a lot on your opponent. If they are aggressive, I probably check behind and if they are passive I probably shove.

What is Villain's hand range here? I'd say 44-TT and a FD (and a very unlikely 2) and after he calls the flop raise its 77, a 2, or the FD, with the FD the most likely. Betting the turn 1/2 pot isn't THAT bad if you don't plan on paying off a flush, I'd personally had bet 40-45 but that isn't up for discussion. We're trying to get value out of the flush draw before it comes in because if you we check behind we lose a ton of value that villain would have called the turn with. Unless the club comes in I'm getting stacked here and if we push our villain correctly folds, when he would call without odds.

Second hand, we are 200BB deep, I dont see anything wrong with calling a 3bet in a blind steal situation with this hand.

Calling with this hand in a RR pot is rather spewy, we don't want to flop an ace because our kicker is dominated and we likely wont get paid by the flush. Villain isn't out of line so I'd just wait for a better spot. You see a lot of players overvaluing their position in RR pots, and getting in spots like this is why you should just fold preflop. You have some folding equity on this board, you may get an AQ to fold and another AT, but AJ and AK is stacking off here. I believe I said I prefer a check/behind but pushing works well for your image too, plus you likely have 12 outs so if he does make a massive call you're still 25% to win a monster pot.
