Preflop raise is tempting, but I think you're doing the right thing just calling here.
Flop: Yes, definitely lead out here. $1.40 is a good amount, you don't want the straight draws folding when your flush draw has them covered. You can consider folding if someone raises and a third player calls both bets cold but betting this flop is a much better way of finding out where you are in the hand than check/calling or check/raising.
It's unlikely someone has AA, it's possible someone has A9/99/66 but AQ here is going to be good a lot of the time, especially with your flush redraw and live sidecards.
