$500 MTT with NFD/Combo Draw

Early stages of large MTT. Both Hero and V have roughly starting stacks ~150 BB.
V in EP opens to 3x, folds around to hero with A
J on BTN and I make the call. BB calls. 3 to flop
Flop (10BB) - K
87
BB checks, V bets 7BB, Hero calls, BB folds.
Turn (24 BB) - T
V bets 19 BB, Hero thinks for a while and calls.
River (62 BB) - 3
V checks, Hero ???
Main questions:
1) Should I have raised on the flop/turn? I do like to play my draws aggressively instead of just passively calling but not really when I think V is strong and I think he has a lot of K in his range especially when he barrels turn.
2) Should I be bluffing river when I brick out? i felt inclined to because I had already invested 1/5th of my stack, but maybe sometimes you just need to give up? I decided at the time I could plausibly have 2p/set or J9 or 69 (though less so) on the BTN and if I bet big it would be hard for V to call with just a pair of K. I was a little bit hesitant though because I thought my line of call-call-bet on brick river just looked too much like a FD, and that I would have raised turn if I did have 2p or straight.
I ended up betting between 2/3 and 3/4th pot on the river.
