NL2 two confusing hands.

Hi, I have two hands which I am confused with, I'll put my thought process under each.
I don't have many stats on the villian but he was TAGish from what I could gather. I 3bet to steal and inflate the pot incase I hit a set. On the flop he donks into me for pot size which I felt was weakness from the speed at which he did it. I call, and on the turn he makes a small bet which confuses me, again I think this is weakness so I raise him all-in knowing I am behind but have a chance to hit a straight or trips if he calls but I expect a fold. I think he is tilted and insta calls me with 2nd pair.
Is there anything wrong with my play here or did he make a "bad" call and caught me out?
The villian was a loose aggressive type although again I didn't have a good sample. On the flop he had c-bet the flop 100% (3 times) before this hand. I made a small flop bet after he checks to induce a bluff check raise or to keep JJ or ace high in the hand. I checked the turn because I don't know..... I don't have a good reason for thinking this other than i felt like I was being trapped.
I felt that although I probably lost the least on this hand I didn't play it well overall, how should I have played it?
