Playing top pair + pair on the board

I think it would be more beneficial if you convert the hand using the hand converter. It makes analysing a hand much easier. There is no "best way" to play any hand as such, a lot of it depends on how your opponent is going to play.

This. You'll need to buy some tracking software to do so, which is a worthwhile investment if you think that you'll really get into poker. If you don't know what this is, look up Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker and watch some videos on them too.

Generally speaking though with over pairs, you should bet until given reason not to continue. Reasons not to continue include being raised at any point or if the board runs out horribly e.g. you have TsTc and the flop comes 234hhh and the turn comes 5h. This old article is well worth a read:

I'd also strongly recommend you read the "stickies" in this forum and work your way through the Poker Strategy articles linked in the tab above.
