Preflop I decide 4bet (unknown player) on this position. On the flop I have straight flush draw and I cbet vs check-raise I decide push all in rest stack here.
Preflop in Your opinion better call to 3bet here or 4bet vs unknown player? Maybe mix this is good.

With the ace blocker I wouldn't mind to 4bet bluff, but than you need to give up if villain 5bet shoves.
Indeed you can mix it up, but it's villain depended if I would bluff with a hand that has decent playability post-flop.
Flop play seems pretty standard with the nut flush draw and I would make a note about villain this time.

Cheers,

Its ok 4bet but:
1. Your 4bet is too big. I think I would go for 22-23bb there, not 27.
2. His 3bet is on smallish side(he should use 11-12bb) so you are encouraged to call more.

I am gonna fold this one preflop. Again you are attempting high variance move against unknown player. You try 4bet bluff without being able consider your FE.

Postflop is fine

Do You think about fold preflop to him 3bet here?

Yeah. You wont know what to do postflop when you face certain actions from V. If A falls it could be dangerious for you. You might lose your entire stack or it could be hard to extract 3 streets of value. The lack of information increases variance and vice versa

You could sometimes exploit that you are unknown to him as well and make more aggressive moves
