Did not read the whole lot. Hand 1 is a clear fold to the 3b This is always a set. Why would he mindonk as a bluff? Hoping someone raises so he can 3b bluff?
The biggest mistake I see there is in your thinking. I know it's hard, but you should NEVER categorize players as 'donks' or 'bad' or 'terrible'. It doesn't help your thought process in any way. There aren't really any intrinsically bad plays in poker, except for checking the nuts IP otr, or folding aces preflop in a ring game, so thinking 'he's so bad, he mindonk/3b a set' is just mental weight that keeps you from thinking properly about the hand.
If he mindonks, you raise, he 3-bets and you fold TP because it really only makes sense for him to have a set there, then he played that hand as bad as he possibly could. As soon as you spazz out with one pair hands and give him your stack, he played it optimally.
Try to think: what can I do to make it a mistake for him to play the way he plays? Or even better: What can I do to extract the most profit from this situation? - How would I play his hand, how would he play my hand, and who ends up with the most chips at the end?
