$Freeroll NLHE MTT: Two bluffs I tried. Any Input?

This was in a CC tourney yesterday which I won.
I'd like some input of the following hands

1. pokerstars - 700/1400 Ante 175 NL - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

BB: 24.37 BB (VPIP: 35.11, PFR: 29.57, 3Bet Preflop: 5.13, Hands: 277)
Hero (SB): 57.06 BB

2 players post ante of 0.13 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.75 BB) Hero has 5h 6d
Hero raises to 2.17 BB, BB calls 1.17 BB

Flop : (4.59 BB, 2 players) 3c Qh 9h
BB checks, Hero checks

BB checks, Hero bets 1.93 BB, BB calls 1.93 BB

River : (8.45 BB, 2 players) 9s
BB bets 2.96 BB, Hero raises to 11 BB, fold

Hero wins 14.36 BB

This was HU at FT. The villain was fairly aggressive before HU. But I read him okaish when HU. I'm putting him on a queen because he'd likely call if he had a flush or a straight. He did tank the longest I've seen him in the match. Usually he's snap call/fold type.

Here the only reason why I bluffed is because the villain donked all three streets. It felt really fishy to me and again a very scary board.
The villain did a bit of talk with me as well has put me on a flush.
I think a Jack is in the villains range and a 7 or a q is likely as well.

Would like your thoughts on those bluffs. Thanks.

65 - Bet 2bb on flop and give up on the turn. Your hand does not have any value checking back so it is best to bet/give up in these spots. I'm not really sure what you're repping with this line. If you had 9x, you would check flop but it's unlikely you'd bet the turn unless you had J9 and every draw bricked. I suppose re-raising here folds out villain's bluffs that beat you, but I do not think a bluff is sizing so small, I fold river.

44 - I'm folding the flop. This is a really bad board for our hand and we are bluffing with almost no equity. Even if you did have a value hand here, are you really re-raising that small on such a wet board? Rest of hand looks fine.

The 65 hand, I think I rep a good range of hands here. Like a set of 3s or a flush draw. In both those incidents trying to trap the villain with a check on the flop. And then going for pure value the next two streets.
Plus the villains river bet is so small it's very likely he's going for a cheap showdown with a two pair.

And why open 2BB? Is it the standard amount?

44 - I got no clue what I did here. Will consider your advice.

You're being way too optimistic about your thoughts in hand #1. Close to zero chance you're checking a set other than QQ on this flop and why would you ever check this flop with a naked FD? Even if you do play your FDs that way, is your opponent going to be thinking that same way as well? What if you do not make your flush on the turn, as you will not 82% of the time? When bluffing it is about their range vs what they think your range is, in your opponent's shoes I am not giving you credit for flushes here.

The 2bb bet was referring to how much you should bet on the flop.
