Holding top pair with top kicker heads-up I anyway get frightened by the 3-Bet on flop in combination with the early raise so that I decide to just call it down. Did I miss a value-raise on the turn?

Similar problem here I'm holding top pair with a strong kicker again. After getting check-raised on the turn I decide to call it down (this time in fear of a flush). Should I have bet on the river again to avoid him getting a free showdown?

Two questions here. Was a flop bet into 4 opponents the correct move or should I have hoped for a late position bet to check-raise the flop for protection? I absolutely did not want to give a free turn card on this draw heavy board. Did I miss a value-bet on the river?
