MP is a big fish who just lost most of his stack on the previous hand. I am 100% sure he is moving in with any two cards on this hand. BB is a huge nit. Should I bluff this turn expecting to be losing to BB but beating the all-in fish? Should I have bluffed the flop too?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP ($26.85)
CO ($353.50)
Hero ($705.20)
SB ($438.95)
BB ($447)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2, A.
MP raises to $26.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $26.85, 1 fold, BB calls $22.85.

Flop: ($82.55) 9, 4, 9 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($82.55) J (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $60

A high has showdown vs MP on that board, so why let the nit share in the profits.

I just bet the flop and put the nit in an uncomfortable situation. Shore up your equity.

It seems that the advice in this thread just keeps getting crazier and crazier (although good). So I'll ride the tide and say shove preflop.

I'd say blind all in would be your best bet tbh, but I'm new at 6max so don't take my word for it.

are you saying bet flop, bet any turn shove any river or bet flop and bet this specific turn then shove any river

Sounds to me like you're mis-identifying your nits.
