It's all about study away from the table, and in game estimation. The important calculation is the one that compares (ev call) to (ev raise)

lets say villian is opening with 30% of hands. how do we work out villian will fold 70% of those hands? should villian even fold 70% of the hands against a unknown?
equilab is a free download and counts combos for you. I would only fold 70% of my opening range vs (a large 3 bet) or (a tight opponent).

if he plays 10% of hands he opened with we will be showing a loss.
Most definitely, except vs very large 3 bets.

is there a standard range we should have and villian should somehow know what our range is? then villian should know his equity against our range and fold his bottom % of hands? we should give Villian a standard range (until we know)
Yes there are standard ranges, which some players stick to, but some players will either tighten up or loosen up depending on game texture(tight opponents = raise more hands; loose opponents = tighten up).

another question is whats a standard 3betting range from the button against a unknown mp open with sb and bb still to act behind us? whats a standard mp open against unknowns behind mp?
I'd 3 bet on the button vs unknown utg at 6 max with this range if full stacks are in play: JJ+, AQs+, AKo, A5s.
standard open utg 6 max imo: 66+, AJo+, A2s+, KQo, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s, 98s. This is what I expect good players to show up with vs unknowns.
