Fishy villain, had over 60vpip, rarely raised anything, I raised from BB, check would have probaply been better, bet flop for value with midpair. And the interesting part, 1bb bet from fish in turn ?(, seeing lot of these 1bb bets in this stake from recreational players, then next street another 1bb bet, or this time bigger bet, easy fold for me now but in general how should you read these 1bb bets? Are they just random bets, bluffs, value? And sometimes even seeing huge overbets the next street.

With this hand I think I prefer to check/call flop. You dont need protection and your hand is not material for even 2 valuebets so checking is fine.

I would most likely check pre-flop. Q9s has decent playabillity and it will be tough to get villain out of the hand pre-flop. It's always hard to play a big pot out of position. Even against a fish. If I would raise you can easy make it 5 or 6x for value.

As played I would try to keep the pot small with a hand that has decent showdown value, but tough to get much value for multiple streets. With a decent value hand you can bet pretty big if you have reads villain is a calling station.
