10nl, Seemingly Simple Pre-Flop Spot, Need help with some range construction

Apologize in advance if hand isn't converted, I pasted HEM 1 HH in here and this is the first time I tried converting a hand.

I had ten hands on opener and his stats were 10/10

NL Holdem $0.10(BB) Replayer
SB ($8.21)
BB ($9.45)
UTG ($10)
Hero ($22.14)
CO ($11.73)
[color=red]BTN ($5.09)

UTG raises to $0.30, Hero?

I'm supposing I should fold here vs. a UTG range that's shaping up to be tag, obviously my sample is small.
so...
1. Is a fold correct here? I'm thinking yes.
2. If I can 3-bet this as a "bluff" since it's one of the best hands I'm folding..I don't really understand this concept. I'm still smoked by villains calling range if he has one, If villains range is too tight to call with AJ, how am I going to fold out better hands??? AQ maybe folds, 99-22 probably folds, TT and JJ, KQ fold out too sometimes I guess there is EV in that...., so is this what I'm trying to accomplish here?
3. What would you do with AQ(s) in the same spot?
4. I usually flat AK(s), QQ, JJ etc...here too vs. the UTG open since I'm assuming his range will be moderately tight and he won't be calling too much worse in these positions if I 3-bet (against a loose fish I'd 3-bet or someone who has a wider open range)....this leads me to believe I always have a de-linear(polarized) range here if I 3-bet....Is this a problem? Should I be 3-betting AK and QQ here instead?
5. What would be a good calling range here?
-Thanks!
