micro stakes; 3-betting (basic)

Another post about 3-betting strategies.
After recently studying 3-betting strategies, and which is/are the best to utilize at the micro stakes games, I have come to a basic conclusion about the strategy I will employ; Polar IP; Linear/merged OOP. (I never employ a completely linear/polar 3b range - I find it best to utilize a slight mix of both strategies, but generally leaning towards one; position dependent).

That being said, I still have a few questions based around the topic:
1). when utilizing a linear/merged 3bing range OOP vs LP opens, do small PP's come under that range (I am not/rarely 3-betting these VS EP)? I have recently started 3b'ing these hands and playing them more aggressively (x% of small PP's) vs BTN/CO opens - is this a good strat, and if so, what are the reasons for it (maximizing FE etc.)?
2a). What does a linear/merged range look like?

Elementary question right, and I completely understand that a merged range generally is going to consist of 1010+, A10/Js+, AJ/Qo+ etc. (or in this area). But when talking about 3b'ing range from the SB vs BTN my 3b'ing range is much wider, and I still consider it linear. Not only is it some % of 22+, A10o+, A9s+ (ish), K10s+, QJs+, It will also consist of some J9s, Q8s etc.

2b). Is the above SB vs BTN/LP 3b'ing range okay/correct (any suggestions?). Is it okay to mix in some J9s, Q8s etc.?
2c). I assume it is is, but is the above SB vs BTN/LP 3b'ing range just a wider linear/merged 3b range?
3). IP, as mentioned I am utilizing a polar 3-betting strat. Any thoughts on the following range, lets say from OTB vs MP, assuming effective stacks are around 100BB's (adaptions made dependent on positions, reads, stack depth etc.) - VALUE: AQ(/K)o+, JJ+, perhaps KQs + AJ(/Q)s+, BLUFFS: A2-5s, x no./% of 87s 910s, J9s etc. (enough to balance)?

Any further advice/suggestions on the topic would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank anyone in advance for reading and replying to this slightly elementary post - cheers!
