I presumed the chip leader was raising from the button as standard and could be holding a wide hand range . The fact that the short stack also moved all in got me confused on how to react .
Poker Stars $3.00+$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 3 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: t5145 M = 17.15
SB: t265 M = 0.88
Hero (BB): t3590 M = 11.97

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BB with A

BTN raises to t800, SB calls t165 all in, Hero calls t600

Flop: (t1865) A

(3 players - 1 is all in)
Hero checks, BTN bets t1200, Hero calls t1200

Turn: (t4265) J

(3 players - 1 is all in)
Hero checks, BTN bets t3145 all in, Hero folds

River: (t4265) T

(2 players - 2 are all in)

keep in mind that I suck.....

but his raise and then c-bet after the flop tells me he has an ace and it's probably better than ours. If the showdown shows he didn't have the A or 10, I'd berate the hell out of him in the chat..not that it would do any good..

I'd probably just fold to his pre raise and let him go vs. the short stack, but I have no idea if that's the right thing to do....others?

ye that was my reasoning for folding the turn . His actual holding was suprising compared to his flop range

Looking at wiz it's a very close decision between pushing and folding preflop. It depends a lot on BTns Raise/calling ranges. Calling 1/6 of your stack is probably your worst option in this scenario.
