Raise flop. Don't allow V to set the bet size like this. If he checked you'd bet, you can't let him change what you do with a 1/5th pot bet. Raise anything you would have cbet if he checked.
Call turn. I think it's really unlikely that he played 2 pair+ by donking 1/5th pot on a board like this where you're very likely to cbet. He'd just c/r. Moreover, it's really hard for villain to have us beaten here. If he had AK, AA, JJ, 99 he'd probably raise pre, that just leaves AJ, A9, J9, A6. Not many combos really.
"I know what you have" probably means he thinks you have KK or QQ. Look at it from his point of view, you look weak as hell. You couldn't muster a raise to a 1/5th pot bet OTF and now are looking worried about a halfpot bet on the turn.

I feel like the small bet followed by a much larger one is usually a strong hand.
This seems contradictory. Nothing changed on the turn, so if you're saying villain has a strong hand now, you're saying he led 1/5th pot with a strong hand (A6 aside). Presumably this was hoping for a raise.
I think it's crazy to fold here. OP's description of this player included the word "unpredictable". You're saying you don't have enough information to call, but you're putting enormous weight on your ability to read what this small bet - larger bet thing means. If we instead take the position that we just don't know what it means, it's incredibly unlikely, from a combinations point of view, that villain has a better hand than AQ on this board.
