$4/$700 Knockout MTT - QQ FT AI run out

UTG: 63461
LJ: 97833
HJ: 101772 (Hero)
CO: 59064
BN: 209904
SB: 31926
BB: 81040
Blinds 1600/3200/400 ante

There are 4 smaller stacks, two about the same and the CL. I see the QQ and have a sinking feeling because I've busted so often with this particular hand in critical situations (so nitty). I've seen ICM breakdowns where in my situation raising QQ from early and getting shoved on can be a fold and I don't want to get in this situation so I raise big (first mistake?)
Preflop (4800) (7 Players)
Hero was dealt Q Q
UTG folds, LJ folds, Hero raises to 7333, CO calls 7333, BN folds, SB folds, BB calls 4133
Get 2 calls - not what I was looking for. CO is LAG but BB is super tight. I find it strange that neither one pulled the trigger and just shoved but they probably didn't know what to think about my open. To me looking back it screams 10s to Qs.
Flop (23599) 9 6 3 (3 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets 19799, CO raises to 51331, BB raises to 73307, Hero calls 53508
Ok - we're AI. I'm hoping someone has a draw and the other has JJ or 10 10. Nope BB has 66 and flopped a set. Cursing like a sailer
Turn (221544) 7 (3 Players)
Now I feel bad for BB - CO just hit his overset. Wait there are 4 spades on board.......
River (221544) 4 (3 Players)
Justice - the best hand preflop won and 2 more knockouts
Final Pot
Hero has Q Q CO has 7 7 BB has 6 6 Hero wins 43952 , Hero wins 180392

What should have been the best bet sizing preflop given ICM considerations? Would I ever raise fold?
