Coz of icm calling and losing is worse than calling and winning is good as we are not playing chips for face value now

I'm c-betting here mostly (except against straightforward players who won't bet without having hit the board). Checking flop is conceding no overpair and no high Spade. I think we win on the flop enough to justify this.

This gives us an opportunity to check back the turn when the A hits representing an overpair on the flop and a second reason for villain to bluff the river - or to bet out an A high flush draw with worse kicker. Alternatively when no A or J hits the turn we get to fold to a turn donk or check behind. If villain is on a draw and misses, because of our earlier tank call, villain may not bluff the river giving us an opportunity to win with A high.

No prob! Yes, exactly.
That 85% figure you mentioned could be an average across all board textures for a 1/3 size, not sure. Many textures are 100% so I could see 85% being the average of all boards.
