    At the micros, you could expect someone to call the river c/shove with a much wider range than at higher stakes, almost their entire river betting range, for emotional reasons. Against better players at higher stakes, the c/shove is only value-cutting ourselves against better hands. But at 5nl I think it's ok. Of course c/c is good too because our hand is worth about three streets of value but probably not four in principle.

    uhh if anything its WORSE at 5nl than say, 600nl because the average 5nl reg isn't going to be able to value bet thinly whereas the mid stakes regular will be looking for spots to merge. thus, the 5nl reg won't even have worse hands in his range he could call with, whereas the 600nl reg would be more likely to.

    if you want to ignore the description of the villain OP posted that's fine, we can talk generalities. I just gave you the general lay down and c/shove is generally better the higher the stakes than it is at lower. I hate blanket statements like this though because considering the opponent you are up against and not how much money is on the table is way more important.

    as far as 'how many streets our hand is worth' goes, it depends a lot on the opponent and this history with them. 2 pair isn't just an 'x' street hand, as your relative hand strength to your opponents range in any given spot is what is important and should be the determinant of how you play it out.
