As far as the play, like everyone said, bigger pre flop raise definitely. After your 3-bet to just 4BB, you are giving player on the bb good odds to call, which is then giving even better odds to call for two players who already payed 2BB. With a strong hand such as QQ, you don't want 2 or 3 people to call and outflop you on some rubbish T high board.
Flop play, either raise more, or just call. Min raising almost always looks very very week, and is inviting for shoves. Once your opponent shoved, you ended up in a bad spot, whether to call or not. You did, you won, but I m not sure that people will always shove like that with an overpair, especially JJ (I'd say general shove range is either a draw to the nuts, or set/2pair on drawing boards).

I totally agree with this one, nice post Bozovicdj.
I posted based on the player not considering the other two cards as significant and I thought it might be at the level that they are thinking, but I didn't want to assume they weren't thinking about the other two cards.
Of course, at CC we like to have as detailed blow-by-blow as possible. I think you are encouraging the OP to think about their analysis of their hand. They may have only posted the elements they were thinking about at the time because that was the limit of their current analysis and your post will help them think in a deeper way. Or they may have been in the heat of the moment and not able to note all the details.
Either way, I think your post is helpful. I think you were respectful, critical, and constructive.
