 good fold, there isnt much you are a favorit against and you are too deep to gamble.

Kind've read dependant.  What was your table image?  Was villain aggressive? passive?

With 22 effective bb's, playing short handed and full tilt's larger then life antes I think this is a snap call.  Against a decent player this is an easy call as his shoving range there should be very wide.  Probably 22+, K10+, A8+, Q10+, and then lot's of suited connectors.  Give me a few minutes and I'll run some numbers for you.

I started doin EV calculations yesterday but ended up getting busy.  I'm at work not and don't have pokerstove handy.  However against the range I stated you were about a 55% favourite getting a decent price.  This is a really easy call against most players.  That said if the player is an absolute nit then this is a fold.

This 100% depends on your read of this player. If he is a loose aggressive player than his range is probably wide enough. If he is tight aggressive than you made a good lay down. Against a relatively unknown player I would have made this a lay down. If you figure you are a better play than at least half the table then why risk your stack on a race situation.

This is read dependant, you are on the button raising, the blinds could consider this a steal attempt. you have raised 2.5 the BB villain must have a hand if he does not think its a steal. If I had been playing tight I would fold, if I had been active raising a lot of pots, I would call.
