Uncertain play regarding ICM: 4 left FT 50€ KO 6-max 1100plrs on Winamax

Hi everyone, SwissOdds here!

First ever thread posted on RIO
Cant wait to get the community 's feedback

Swiss (from the French speaking part of Switzerland) online mtt player willing to progress and really keen on sharing views (basically all by myself here in my small town regarding strategy, hands debriefing and global analysis).
Working full time in an office aswell as following a professionnal formation which includes analytic accounting courses on saturdays and juggling with my passion for skateboarding aswell as for Nature and poker but lets get into it.

Dont have access to HH (at work atm) so i ll present it as it stands in my tortured mind

Strictly playing on winamax (a very nice fishtank)
Normally playing the 5 to 20€ mtt (2.5k BR) but gave a sunday shot to that 50€ KO

4 left FT 50€ KO 6-max 1100plrs on Winamax

Cant remember the PO structure but smthing like:

1st: 5k+ bnties
2nd: 3.5k + bnties
3rd: 2.4k + bnties
4th: 1.8k +bnties

I ve the lowest bounty (700 ish)
Less than 50 hands played vs the 3 remaining players so HEM2 wasnt really helpfull regarding their tendencies and I was so hyped and focused that i even forgot to shrkscpd them (1st mistake?!) but by the look of things no one looked super sharky strong

The CL was sitting out (for more than 5 minutes/ might have fallen asleep during break lol)

150/300k 30k ante
(Hero just doubled up to 20ish bb and is in sb with 1010)

Vilain (40bb) is UTG and min raise
Btn folds
Hero in sb flats pre with 1010
BB: (not quite sure if he s still the CL atm) healthy stack on the bb though and sitting out -> auto folds
Flop: 9d8d2h -> hero checks -> vilain cbet 2/3rd ish pot -> hero 3b jams -> vilain snapps with QQ
Turn: 6x (come on 1 time please)
River. 2x (aaaarf) :(
Busto in 4th good for +2.5k€ total

Being still the shortest stack but having a sitting out player on the bb, i was not sure abt how to deal idealy with ICM in that precise spot.
I know that vilain was pretty active and that i was crushing his min raising pre range with that player sitting out in the bb.
However i thought that 3b jamming almost 20biggs pre was an ICM disaster if i happend to be facing JJ+ or even if i was flipping so i thought that playing low variance was the play here.
I also thought that my hand would be totally hidden on most flops and that i could therefore easily 3bet jam any favorable flop facing a cbet (in that ICM pressure spot, he would probably cbet close to 100%).A lot of turns could kill my action and i was sitting on a 17ish bb atm so to protect my hand, i didnt even contemplate a flop flat.

Questions:
-Was my reasoning regarding the sitting out player and ICM totally off?
-Is flatting on the sb with that strong of a hand in a 4hd game, sitting on 19bb a total no-no?
-Was 3bet jamming any favorable flop a total punt?
-Is flatting the flop cbet an option?
-How should i ve dealt with the sitting out player?
-Was my global approach an affraidish-nitty-fishy one?
-Did I miss anything?

Anyway, thank you guys (and girls?!) in advance and a BIG THANK YOU to our Leader, Mr OMG himself who i sadly watched getting unfortunately rekt on PAD latetly :( but cant wait to see him bounce back on the live felt.

PS:
No bs, since i subscribed to RIO, i totally inverted my graph. Had a 21k profit over 10k ish games and went from a 10k downswing (since basically the start of my new job) to a 14k upswing!
