NL10 on a table of limpers and callers

shakinaces

I regularly seem to tie myself in knots when I'm at the sort of table where I regularly see everyone at the table limping to see the flop - it makes me throw in raises that my nitty nature would probably steer away from under normal circumstances, should I just be playing far tighter on these sort of tables, but throwing in big raises when I do come into a pot (with premium cards)?

Once I'm getting stationed off (I assume, obv up to the river), should I be betting top pair/weakish kicker?

Is my turn bet size OK if I'm reading the hand as getting value from the top pair?

Then the river, still my biggest problem in poker - I sized bet based on villains stack size, assuming that I'd get a little value out of smaller pairs or weaker queens - but such that if he goes over the top of me I can fold (which I don't think I can if I bet 1/2 pot or more on the end)... should I have taken a different route here?  And if villain does go all in, is it an instafold?
