10/20 live flop decision after trap pre

Game is 6/7 handed, game just opened and noone has any history with me.
a 30bb stack opens 3x from mp, button is livepro nit(~3k) . Sb is unknown (4k). Bb is 30bb old man that just 4b over my squeeze for 50bb with 33 in prior orbit. I look down at aa and flat. Button folds, sb goes to 210 and its folded to me.
I didn't feel great about a backraise with no history and slightly deeper vs an unknown. I flat again.
Flop comes down 567r. He cbets 340 and I decided on a raise given the action killing turn cards that hurt my value when he has 2 outs.

Am I way out of line here on each decision?

with no information on sb and vice versa, I feel like a backraise would be very callable by sb with a pretty wide range. He could easily be thinking that you are trying to re-squeeze because you think he's squeezing from the sb. Also in live poker, you really don't have to worry about declaring your hand strength as much because the majority of live players just stations off with premium hands regardless of their read. Balancing and disguising really isn't as useful when no one is actually exploiting your obvious plays in live poker.

As played, I do like a flop raise, because you are quite ahead of a standard live 3betting range on that flop. Some would argue that you might be turning your hand into a bluff, but you don't know how many times I've raise on a flop like that against an overpair thinking my tight image would surely induce a fold. You would be surprised how often I'm called down on at least two streets even by profitable regs. Against an unknown that you dont know to be tricky, I would probably bet all 3 streets if i don't feel resistance.
