Fold preflop or only limp because QJo very marginal hand when early blinds.

Flop check/fold, we don't know nothing about our opponent, UTG range can be pairs or broadway, so they both very often will be fold..

Turn / When you cbet, now we need pot control because if someone shove you need fold, and we still nothing not know about our opponents, so better line game this check/call.

River easy fold, you only have two pair with bad kicker, will be always -EV when you call big stack, better to find a more profitable situation than this marginal pot.

Peflop: first hand at a table full of unknowns; I'm not trying to be a table captain right off the bat; and QJo isn't good enough (IMO) to limp along with, so I wpuld just fold.

Flop: As played, since we took the lead preflop, we have position and he checked to is Cbetting is fine here.

Turn: OK, now we actually have showdown value, but we have kicker problems. The turn is where I would opt for some pot control and check behind. We have top pair, but there aren't a lot of hands in his range that he can call pre, flop and turn with that we are too excited about.

River: As played, I would fold. Top pair ok kicker on a paired board is not a hand to be making a big stand with when you don't even know the players. If we had checked the turn, then calling his river bet would be more reasonable since we have under-repped our hand. But as played we are showing a lot of strength on every street and he is jamming into us. I would guess he has a minimum of trips in this spot.
