basically, yes. the smaller we bet here the higher the EV, because we have so little pot equity and depend so much on fold equity

perhaps, but as i mentioned i'm not really expecting villain to fold a half decent hand, but looking to get folds from the hands which have reasonable equity against us, which i imagine he'll just fold without too much though. though that said we might get folds from some better hands, like 66-99 if he ever limps them.

Did you base your decision based on the villain's stats, or is it just a general line of thought?
with sets i'd probably bet bigger because this guy has no idea about bet-sizing balance and i want to maximise my EV with those hands. i based my decision around what i saw as having the greatest EV in a vacuum. against thinking players i would need to be a bit more balanced because they will realise 1/2 pot means a CB with a weak range and full pot means i have the nuts and want value. against this guy i don't think that's really relevant.
